[Reporter]
At 3:38 a.m. today (17th), a fire broke out at a restaurant on the first floor of a six-story commercial building in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do.

There was a motel on the fifth floor of this shopping mall, and smoke has flowed to this point.

After determining that there were likely to be guests at the motel because it was the weekend, the fire department issued a "second stage of response" at 3:57 p.m., 19 minutes after the report.

Currently, 84 people have been dispatched to 31 fire engines, and Ansan Fire Chief is in charge of the command at the scene.

It is reported that about 10 guests have requested rescue in the motel.

Fire authorities have set up a temporary medical center at the site, entered the building, and are searching for lives.

The fire itself does not seem to be big, but the possibility of a victim coming out cannot be ruled out due to smoke.

A witness who reported to YTN said he heard guests shouting "Save us" inside the motel building.

He also said that the situation seemed urgent, with some people jumping from the building, and that he witnessed firefighters performing CPR.

I'll let you know the details as soon as they come in.

So far, the press office has informed you.
