A fire at a tool shopping mall in Jongno 3-ga, Seoul...First stage of response is issued.

At around 3:10 a.m. today, a fire broke out at a tool shopping mall near Jangsa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and Jongno 3-ga Station.

No one has been confirmed injured in the fire yet.

In about two hours, the fire department issued the first phase of the response, mobilizing both the personnel and equipment of the competent fire department.

As a result, 148 personnel and 39 equipment were deployed, but they are struggling to evolve because it is difficult to enter the narrow alleyways.

Fire authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of the fire after extinguishing it.
