A fire broke out at Cheongju Yukgeori General Market around 3 a.m. on the 14th, causing damage to three stores. Due to the nature of the traditional market where stores are concentrated, it could have led to a big fire, but the damage was minimized by quickly dispatching fire engines and extinguishing them early.

The fire was early suppressed by Smart Call, Rozetatech's intelligent fire detector, installed by Cheongju City in 2017 while establishing a "fire suppression response information system," automatically spread the situation to the fire department, merchants and officials.
