모두가 탈출할 때까지...온몸으로 불길 막아선 소방관 / YTN (Yes! Top News)

[Anchor] Last night, a massive fire broke out in a multi-family home in Yongmun-dong, Seoul, prompting an urgent evacuation. Video footage from the fire captured firefighters fighting the flames with their bodies and rescuing residents, a heartwarming experience. This is reporter Hong Seok-geun reporting. [Reporter] A blazing red flame gushes out ceaselessly from the fourth floor of the multi-family home. Firefighters struggle to rescue residents precariously clinging to window frames. Exhausted by the intense heat, residents fall to the floor, where safety devices are installed. As soon as the last firefighter, who had been fighting the flames with his entire body, escapes, a pillar of flames shoots skyward. The fire broke out in a multi-family home in Yongmun-dong, Seoul, around 11 p.m. on the 11th. The fire, which started in unit 301 on the third floor, quickly spread to the neighboring unit and the fourth floor. The fire seriously injured 44-year-old Kim and 42-year-old Oh, while three people, including two children, were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. The damage could have been even greater, but the firefighters' selfless sacrifice shone through as they threw themselves into the flames at a critical moment. However, two rescue workers also suffered burns and were taken to the hospital. [Mr. Choi / Witness: As soon as the firefighters entered, they headed toward the front door and evacuated the children first. Because the flames were so strong, they used their backs to block the flames, trying to rescue the parents through the windows.] Police and fire authorities plan to conduct a thorough investigation on the third floor, where the fire started, to determine the exact cause.
