It has been more than 12 hours since the fire broke out, but there is still no news of the fire being extinguished.
The fire occurred at the Hyosung TNC plant in Nam-gu, Ulsan.
It is a company that produces textile materials such as nylon, and the factory has 1 basement level and 6 above ground floors, with a total area of about 27,000 square meters.
The fire started last night around 7pm.
The fire department believes that the fire broke out on the first basement floor of the air conditioning room and then continued to the upper floors.
It also moved to a warehouse for finished products near the factory building.
About three hours after the fire broke out, the second stage of response was issued, mobilizing even the nearest fire station.
Two employees who were fighting the initial fire were taken to the hospital due to inhalation of smoke.
Fire officials said they were having difficulty putting out the fire as the building was delayed due to the risk of collapse and the fire spread to finished textile products.
