Another fire in underground parking lot... ”Father of three” takes action to put out the fire without hesitation = Korea

Recently, a fire broke out in a vehicle parked in the underground parking lot of an apartment building, and the sight of residents rushing to put out the blaze has attracted attention.
According to fire officials on the 5th, the incident occurred at around 7:32 pm on the 31st of last month at an apartment in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon.
The fire started in an SUV in the basement parking lot on the second floor. The fire was put out by firefighters using 20 pieces of equipment and over 50 firefighters in just 20 minutes.
The residents' quick response before the fire engines arrived prevented a serious accident. The protagonists are Kim Young-hoon (36) and Choi Jeong-hwa (
The two men were Lee Hyun (44) and Lim Jae Hoon (39). They had gathered at the management office of the apartment complex for an emergency meeting of the apartment complex residents, when a group chat on KakaoTalk ignited.
When they heard the alarm that a fire had occurred, they got up from their seats, grabbed fire extinguishers and rushed to the scene of the fire. Even though it could have put their lives at risk, they did not hesitate to spray the fire extinguishing agent on the vehicles.
It is said that the initial fire was not easily extinguished. Eventually, another fire extinguisher was brought from nearby and the fire extinguishing agent was sprayed again. It took about 20 minutes to extinguish the fire using 13 extinguishers.
After that, they were able to hand over the scene to the firefighters who were dispatched. A, who posted an article on social media announcing their efforts, said, "The location of the vehicle on fire is far from the entrance,
"It was at the very back of the second basement floor," he said. "There was an emergency staircase right next to it, but if the fire spread, toxic gas would accumulate, making it a dangerous place where evacuation would not be easy."
"I instinctively chased after them. They are the three heroes of the apartment building," he said. All three are fathers with young children. Kim and Lim suffered smoke inhalation while putting out the fire and were taken to hospital, but died shortly after the examination.
Fortunately, the fathers are not in any danger of dying. In an interview with Sekai Nippo, the brave fathers said, "If we had been alone, we would have been scared." And, "We just did what we had to do."
The fire broke out in a Chevrolet Orlando (diesel) vehicle parked in an underground parking lot. The security camera footage of the fire shows that the engine of the vehicle had already been turned off after a drive.
The footage shows Orlando parking next to Granger and then moving away. Sparks then appeared from under the hood of the Orlando car, and the fire quickly spread throughout the engine bay.
Fire officials are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident.
