Half of the roof of the house sank as if it had been bombed.

The structure that supported the rooftop was exposed only to the skeleton.

In the house next door, the windows were smashed and the walls collapsed.

The alley is blasted, making it impossible to walk around with broken debris.

In the LP gas explosion, 7 residents were taken to hospitals with large and small injuries.

In addition, 5 houses were damaged.

[남기식 / 목격자 : 갑자기 폭탄이 터지는 소리가 났습니다. 진동도 엄청나게 울렸고, 폭탄이 터지는 소리가 났습니다. 전쟁 난 듯한 그런 상황이었습니다.]

LP gas also exploded in a house in Uiryeong, Gyeongnam.

In this accident, two couples in their 80s suffered whole body burns and were taken to a hospital.

In both accidents, the leaked gas exploded, police and fire departments believe.

In order to prevent such an explosion, gas safety management is most important.

You should lather with soap or detergent and check the connections for gas leaks.

It is especially recommended to check by smell before using the gas.

[김영관 / 경남소방본부 소방위 : 사용 전 창문을 열어 신선한 공기로 환기하고, 가스가 누출되지 않았는지 냄새로 확인해 주십시오. 불이 꺼지면 자동으로 가스가 차단되는 제품을 사용해 주시고….]

When turning on the gas, check that the fire is well lit and that there is a blue flame. After use, the middle valve must be closed, and the LP gas container must be closed when going out for a long time.
