Fire at Poultry Farm Warehouse in Pocheon, Loss of 100,000 Egg Packs

A significant fire occurred at a poultry farm warehouse in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, resulting in considerable property damage.

The fire started around 4:50 AM on the 12th in a warehouse located in the poultry farm in I-dong, Pocheon, and was extinguished within about an hour.

It has been confirmed that three buildings, including the warehouse within the livestock complex, were burned, and approximately 100,000 packs of eggs stored inside were lost.

Although the scale of the fire was not small, fortunately, no casualties were reported. At the time, there were eight people on-site, including foreign workers, all of whom quickly evacuated.

The building where the fire occurred was a warehouse used for storing eggs, not the poultry house where chickens are raised, so there were no losses of chickens.

Currently, police and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire.
