The fire, which appeared to be caused by record-breaking heavy rains in the central region from August 8, broke out at Yeokgok Sangsang Market on the 9th.
​
On 8/9, a fire broke out due to a short circuit at Sangsang Outlet Store in Yeokgok Sangsang Market in Buil-ro, Bucheon-si, and firefighters were dispatched immediately due to rapid breaking news of the Rozetatech fire detection system SmartCol and quick reports from merchants, preventing it from spreading into a large fire.
