”There's a sign saying 'SOS' on the apartment building across the street!”...Rescue team finds old man shivering in cold = South Korean report

``There's a rope and a piece of paper with the word 'SOS' written on it hanging on the outside wall of the apartment building across the street!'' On the 1st of last month, the Incheon Police General Security Situation Room received a call with similar information.
It came. According to the National Police Agency's SNS, on the 29th, a police officer working at the General Situation Room asked the caller, ``Could you please take a photo and send it to me?''
Something that looked like a paper box was seen near the top of a high-rise apartment building in Michuhor district of the city. Police officers who were dispatched to the scene confirmed that the household had been covered with cardboard boxes, and then searched the apartment.
With the help of the management office, they succeeded in opening the entrance. However, no one was found anywhere in the residence, and while searching inside, a sound was heard leaking through a small door in the corner.
That's what it means. This door was intended to be used as an emergency evacuation route in the event of a fire, but an elderly man was found alone inside, shivering from the cold.
I later found out that Mr. A, who is in his 70s and lives alone, had gone to the emergency evacuation center for ventilation the previous afternoon, but the deceased
The faulty fire door suddenly closed, leaving him unable to move and trapped inside. Mr. A, stranded without a cell phone, was in a daze and had been in the cold for over 20 hours since 5pm the day before.
While fighting, he found a box nearby, wrote the word "SOS" on it, tied the box to a rope and hung it outside the window. At the time, the lowest temperature in the area was recorded at -7 degrees Celsius.
Mr. A hung the rescue message outside his window in the hope that someone would see it, but thanks to a grateful neighbor who did not ignore it and a police officer who quickly took action, Mr. A survived.
Unfortunately, he was rescued. Lim Young-hoon, the district team leader who was dispatched to the scene at the time, said, ``When I received the dispatch order, at first I thought someone was playing a prank,'' adding, ``I've been working there for 33 years.
This is the first time I've received a report like this." Next, Team Leader Lim said, ``The residents of the apartment building across the street saw the words 'SOS' posted on the window of a high-rise apartment building that could not be clearly seen.
``The person who reported it was a young man, and I'm really grateful,'' he said with a cheerful expression.
