On the 3rd, it was confirmed that the fire at BYC Building, a complex commercial building in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, greatly reduced the damage due to the normal operation of the fire prevention facility.

The Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency said in a press conference today that the fire protection door and sprinklers worked well and the rooftop door was open, so it finished well without serious injuries.

Police said the fire started in the kitchen fryer of the kimbap restaurant on the first floor, but the fire did not spread to the second floor because the fire door was well locked, and the sprinkler was operated on time, so the smoke did not spread.

In addition, the rooftop door was also open, allowing more than 100 people to evacuate safely, and the manager of the underground swimming pool also evaluated that the evacuation was good.

Police are considering awarding a commendation to the building manager and charging the person who started the fire with a misfire.
