A massive fire at a Coupang logistics center in Incheon has raged for a third day, with 813 firefighters deployed to battle the blaze that broke out early Saturday.
The fire started at 6:54 a.m. on July 18 on the sixth floor of the Coupang logistics center in Incheon. As of 6 a.m. on July 20, it remained uncontained after more than 47 hours.
The Incheon Fire Headquarters has deployed 813 firefighters and 231 pieces of equipment under a national mobilization order. Hundreds of nearby residents have been evacuated to schools, and local daycare centers and elementary schools closed for the day.
A fire official said, "We are carrying out the operation while assessing on-site safety from multiple angles." Coupang issued a public apology, stating it would prioritize firefighter safety and cooperate with the investigation.
