Fire at brothel

Listen

Fire investigators examine the site of a fire at a brothel in Cheonho-dong, eastern Seoul, Saturday, to find the cause of the blaze. The brothel operator and a sex worker died in the fire, and three other workers were injured. The fire was put out in 16 minutes, but caused the deaths and serious injuries as the women could not escape the room where they were sleeping because of an iron grating on the windows. / Yonhap
