The fire started in the area between exit No. 3 of Jonggak Station of subway line No. 1 and a food alley in Insa-dong, a few blocks behind the Jongno Tower building.
Due to the fire, 23 stores in six buildings, including the three-story building, were destroyed in 90 minutes. Seven citizens were sent to Inje University Seoul Paik Hospital in Uljiro, central Seoul, for smoke inhalation.
Some 60 fire trucks and 180 fire fighters put the fire out around 10 p.m. that day.
From 11 a.m. yesterday, 25 officials dispatched from the National Forensic Service, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Jongno Fire Station, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, as well as Korea Gas Safety Corporation began looking for the exact cause of the fire.
The fire authorities said that there were no human casualties as of press time yesterday, but they are still checking the scene for bodies.

| Hopefully, they don't find any bodies. Sixty fire trucks--how could they all get to the fire? |

Glad nobody died (as of yet) due to the fire. The firefighters can get to just about anywhere, even if the trucks are blocked for one reason or another. It just takes a bit longer. Also, it was more than one fire, even if it was kicked off in only one structure.
Actually, it's gotten better for the fire trucks now that the fines for blocking them were raised a couple of years ago. The firefighter in the front passenger seat of the truck takes a picture of the offending vehicle's license, sends that to the traffic police office, and they in turn send a ticket to the registered owner. When the ticket fine jumped to 300,000 won or more, drivers started acting right.
Also, there is one bright thing about this thread: maybe Moondoggy will finally get banned. His post above is incredibly jerkish. |

Serial arsonist lit Insa-dong blaze
Man who set fire to Deoksu Palace �wanted to clean up this dirty city�
| Quote: |
The 52-year-old man surnamed Ahn who was arrested for setting fire to the sit-in camp occupied by fired Ssangyong Motor workers in front of Daehanmun, the main gate of Deoksu Palace in Jung District, central Seoul, on Sunday, is also the person who set fire to a restaurant in a food alley in Insa-dong that burned down six buildings and dozens of stores last month.
The Namdaemun Police Precinct in central Seoul found that Ahn also had set fire to other places in Seoul in the past: burning another protest site in Myeong-dong, central Seoul, on March 1; setting fire to a trash can in a Burger King in Myeong-dong on March 1; and setting fire to an empty box outside of a restaurant in Jung District on Sunday.

He sounds like a low-rent Bond villain. You know, one of those ones that wants to restart civilisation or some such. |
