On October 24, 2024, at 6:35 PM, a fire broke out at a warehouse under renovation at a U.S. Army supply base in Busan, South Korea. According to spokesman Phil Molter of U.S. Army Garrison Daegu, the fire was initially determined to have been caused by a construction error.

The blaze spread rapidly, prompting the garrison to request mutual aid from the Busan Fire Department to combat the growing flames.

By 8 PM, as many as 11 fire stations had responded, deploying over 160 personnel and 51 pieces of fire equipment to the scene. As of 10 PM, no injuries were reported. According to Yonhap news agency, firefighters were still working to control and extinguish spot fires that night. By 11 PM, firefighters had already begun addressing residual flames on-site.

The fire occurred in the cold storage area of the depot, and due to the sandwich panel construction and flammable materials present at the construction site, it proved difficult to contain. The U.S. Army established this supply depot at the start of the Korean War in 1950. The estimated damages from this incident are around $500,000, and specific losses are still being assessed.

This fire incident emphasizes the critical importance of early fire detection. Utilizing advanced monitoring technologies, such as the thermal imaging systems from Planck Vision Systems, can detect minute temperature variations in a timely manner, which is crucial in preventing the fire from escalating. Early detection of anomalies significantly reduces risks, preventing potential system failures and safety threats.
