CCTV footage was released showing the scene of an 메이저사이트explosion at a public bathhouse in Dong-gu, Busan, in which 24 people, including firefighters, civil servants, and citizens, were injured . According to CCTV
footage around the accident site released by Busan Dong-gu Office on the 1st, the first explosion occurred at 1:40 pm on the same day when the fire was first reported to the fire department. As huge flames spewed out in the middle of a residential area, startled residents ran out of nearby shops and houses. Afterwards, at around 2:13 p.m., while fire suppression was in progress, flames several times larger than those from the first explosion spewed out into the alley. The flames engulfed about 10 people, including firefighters and Dong-gu officials and residents who were looking at the scene with umbrellas, and they hurriedly evacuated, blocking the flames with umbrellas. It was a dizzying moment that could have resulted in major casualties. One resident testified, “My clothes caught fire.” Resident A, who suffered burns on his face while at the scene, said, “It was an explosion so strong that people were blown away.” Even though the fire was not completely extinguished at the site where the first explosion occurred, it is presumed that the damage increased because the surrounding area was not properly controlled. In addition to firefighters and police officers, most of those injured were residents near the bathhouse where the fire occurred and Dong-gu officials.
At around 1:40 p.m. on this day, two fire explosions broke out at 30-minute intervals in the basement of the first floor of a bathhouse building in Maechukji Village, Jwacheon-dong, Dong-gu, Busan, resulting in many casualties, including firefighters who were extinguishing the fire. The fire department explained that when the initial fire was extinguished, a second explosion suddenly occurred, causing many injuries.
Initially, the number of injured was identified as 21, but two more were added late in the afternoon and one more on the morning of the 2nd, bringing the total to 24. The injured included 10 firefighters, 3 police officers, 4 district office officials, and 7 nearby residents. Among them, two firefighters were seriously injured and the remaining 22 were lightly injured.
The police and fire authorities plan to conduct a joint investigation at the fire site at 10 a.m. on this day to investigate the cause of the accident.
