Coupang pledges cooperation as Incheon warehouse fire burns
- Firefighters continued battling a massive warehouse fire at the Coupang Logistics Center in Incheon on Monday for the third consecutive day as flames that broke out more than 47 hours earlier forced residents to evacuate amid collapse concerns.
- Complex building structures and vast amounts of combustible household materials on the sixth floor hampered firefighting efforts; accumulated heat and thick smoke prevented crews from entering the eight-story facility.
- Under a national mobilization order, authorities deployed 813 firefighters and 231 pieces of equipment from eight regional jurisdictions, utilizing aerial ladder trucks, water-cannon vehicles, and helicopters to cool the building.
- Local officials issued an evacuation order for residents within 116 meters of the ramp zone, and the district recommended closing 31 daycare centers and suspending elementary school classes to minimize disruption.
- The fire's duration mirrors the 2021 blaze in Icheon, which required three days for initial control; Coupang Chief Executive Chung Jong-chul stated the company is cooperating with authorities and providing necessities to firefighters.
