[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] At around 3:37 a.m. on the 9th, a fire broke out at a refrigerator manufacturing factory in the Pyeongdong Industrial Complex, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

One building was completely burned down, and the fire spread to an adjacent building, including a storage warehouse.

Since the fire occurred during the early morning hours when the factory was not operating, there were no casualties.

The fire department received the fire report, issued Response Level 1, and succeeded in initial extinguishing after about two hours.

The police and fire authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of the fire and the extent of the damage once the fire is completely extinguished.
