As reported by the Incheon Fire Department on the 13th, the fire broke out approximately at 5:44 a.m. that day inside a 4.5-ton freight truck traveling through the Bukhang Tunnel on the Incheon-Gimpo Expressway in Jung-gu, Incheon.

Vehicles heading to Gimpo were briefly managed through the Bukhang Tunnel because of a fire. No injuries were reported.

Over 65 officials, such as firefighters, along with 23 pieces of machinery, including pumping vehicles, were sent to the scene and successfully put out the fire by approximately 6:18 a.m.
