Last month, there was a major accident in which about 600 cars were burned down in a parking lot of an apartment building in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province.
A similar thing happened this time in Ulsan, but a lot of damage was prevented by prompt reporting by residents and active response by the management office staff.
Reporter Heo Seong-jun reports.

White smoke rises from the white car.
A woman driving out of her car makes an urgent phone call from somewhere and disappears.
As the car explodes and goes into flames, a car enters the other side of the fire scene.
A woman who witnessed the fire a while ago came back with the management office staff.
The two take the hose out of the fire hydrant and go out to put out the fire.
The fire broke out in the underground parking lot of an apartment building in Buk-gu, Ulsan, around 5 am on the 1st.
A 36-year-old resident, Mo Im, who witnessed the fire on the way to work, quickly reported it to Section 119 and the management office.
[임 모 씨 / 화재 신고 주민 : 119에 먼저 신고하고 원래는 출근해야 하는데 불이 심하게 번질 것 같아서 관리사무소 전화번호를 찾아서 전화하고 (직원이) 위치를 못 찾으셔서 차 쪽으로 같이 가서 호스 꺼내는 거 도와드리고….]
Lim and the 47-year-old management office employee, Choi Mo, calmly started the evolution even when black smoke filled the parking lot.
They passed the fire hose and escaped the scene only after the police arrived.
[최 모 씨 / 아파트 관리사무소 직원 : 지하주차장 화재 경험이 없었습니다. 그렇게 급작스럽게 화재가 번질 것이라는 걸 예상 못 했고요. 진화 과정에서도 쉽게 진압이 안 됐습니다. 물을 뿌리는 과정에서도 잘 잡히지 않았습니다.]
About 500 cars were parked on the 3rd basement floor where the fire broke out, so it was a dizzying situation that could lead to a major accident.
The fire was put out immediately with their active response, and there were no casualties.
The police decided to deliver a letter of appreciation to the two citizens who stopped the large fire.
