A fire broke out on the 18th at a logistics center of South Korean e-commerce giant Kupeng. The fire continued for 3 days and was still not fully controlled. The local fire department warned on the 20th that if the fire spreads to an area with a large number of lithium batteries, the entire building will face the risk of collapse. In order to prevent dangerous situations from occurring, government departments have organized the evacuation of nearby residents and requested that schools be closed. This logistics center is located in Incheon, west of Seoul. A fire broke out at 6:54 on the 18th. According to the national fire mobilisation order issued on the same day, 813 firefighters and 231 pieces of equipment have been deployed locally to participate in extinguishing the fire. Fire department officials said on the 20th that although the fire has been controlled to a certain extent, it will take “longer than expected” to completely extinguish the fire. Coupled with the large scale of the logistics center, it is currently impossible to predict the exact time for complete control of the fire.
