Firefighters Expected to Declare Fire Extinguished After Entering Interior to Confirm Bursts "Unable to Enter Burned Floors Due to Concerns Over Residual Heat and Collapse" Nearby Temporary Shelter to Remain for Now... Around 200 Residents Admitted Firefighters Say "Fire Compartments Were Neutralized"... Police Expected to Investigate [Anchor] Although the fire at the Coupang logistics center in Seoknam-dong, Incheon, has been brought under control, firefighting efforts to extinguish remaining embers are being prolonged due to difficulties in entering the building. The temporary shelter housing around 200 residents who have not yet been able to return home is also scheduled to remain open for the time being. Reporter Kim Yi-young reports. [Reporter] There are gaping holes in various parts of the blackened upper floors of the logistics center. Near the building, fallen steel plates lie scattered, bent and warped. Even after the fire at the Incheon Coupang logistics center was brought under control on the 20th, firefighting operations to put out remaining embers have continued at the site for several days. Even as aerial vehicles sprayed water from outside the building, white smoke continued to seep out slowly from the upper floors for some time. Fire authorities are expected to declare the fire completely extinguished after entering the building and making a final check to ensure there are no remaining embers. However, due to safety concerns such as lingering heat and the risk of collapse, they have not yet been able to enter the floor where the fire started, so it is expected to take more time to finish the firefighting operation. The temporary shelter set up at a nearby school will also remain open for the time being. This is because, although the evacuation order has been lifted, more than 200 residents are unable to return home. [Lee Jung-hee / Seoknam-dong, Incheon: I can smell the fire. I still can't just walk past my house without wearing a mask. I have to clean up everything before I can go inside; I can't enter right now. There might be embers, you know. If the batteries there catch fire...] The police investigation team plans to conduct a joint forensic inspection with relevant agencies as soon as the fire is completely put out. In particular, given that the fire department pointed out that the fire zone was neutralized—such as fire shutters melting due to intense heat caused by the large volume of flammable materials—the police are also expected to investigate whether there were any issues with the logistics center's structure or safety equipment.
