According to the Daegu Fire Department, 51 fire trucks and more than 160 firefighters were deployed that day, but they faced great difficulties in extinguishing the fire due to a large amount of nonwoven fabric, a mask material, being piled up.
The fire caused property damage estimated at about 92 million won (according to the fire station) as nonwoven fabric and other materials burned. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
The police and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire with the business owner and others.
