A massive blaze destroyed one of South Korea’s largest fashion logistics centres in Cheonan, South Chungcheong province, on Saturday (Nov 15), burning millions of garments. No casualties were reported as the fire broke out hours before workers arrived. Local media reports said it took more than nine hours to bring the main fire under control, with hotspots still burning for hours. About 430 firefighters, 150 vehicles and 11 helicopters were deployed in the firefighting operations. #southkorea #
