Joint reconnaissance of the site of a large-scale fire in a multi-purpose apartment in Ulsan was postponed due to concerns about safety accidents.
The Ulsan Police Agency announced on the 10th that it formed a dedicated investigation team and conducted the first inspection on the 9th, and as a result of the fact that it was necessary to take measures to prevent safety accidents first, it made such a decision. It was judged that the safety of staff could be threatened when contemplating, such as excavating the fire site, due to the possibility of objects falling from the roof of the home. Consequently, the police decided to install security facilities such as nets and fences before proceeding with further inspections. The schedule for the second appraisal has not been set.
In addition to reconnaissance, the dedicated investigation team of the Ulsan Police Agency is involved in large-scale investigations, such as securing CCTV footage and investigating witnesses and reporters to find the cause of the fire. The investigation team conducted the first identification for about two hours starting at 4 p.m. the previous day, in conjunction with the National Institute for Scientific Research and the fire department, to review the site of the fire and look for traces of the fire. The first day’s appreciation focused on preserving the site and understanding the structure of the building.
Police also formed a Victim Protection Team to provide consultation desks in temporary shelters for firefighter residents, to target various consultation and support systems, and to distribute relief supplies to 190 residents. The protection team consisted of a crisis intervention counselor and a dedicated police officer for victims. Police officers “We will establish a direct line between local governments and the Korean Red Cross to continue maintaining a cooperation system to support the protection of victims.Said.
On the night of the 8th, the fire in the 33-story Samhwan Art Nouveau apartment in Dal-dong, Nam-gu went out completely at 2:50 pm on the 9th, after 15 hours and 40 minutes. 93 people suffered minor injuries, such as inhaling smoke, and 77 people who had evacuated floors such as roofs were rescued. Three people who once inhaled smoke were classified as seriously injured and released from the hospital as their health improved. There were no deaths.
