The rescue workers evacuated 50 people from the building and the car’s driver, who first reported the fire, was taken to the hospital after inhaling smoke. No other injuries were reported.
According to the police, the driver, identified only as Gwon, saw smoke coming under the air conditioner of his sports utility vehicle parked in the fifth-floor parking lot at around 9 a.m. and called the emergency hotline 119.
The car was soon engulfed in flames and it took nearly 30 minutes to put out the fire.
