Coupang warehouse fire extinguished after 109 hours in Incheon

Thursday, 23 July 2026, 06:38 · 1 min read

A major fire at a logistics centre belonging to Coupang (South Korea's largest e-commerce retailer) in Incheon, just west of Seoul, was fully extinguished on Wednesday evening after burning for over 109 hours since breaking out on Saturday. The blaze injured two firefighters and forced the evacuation of more than 200 nearby residents, with firefighting efforts complicated by the eight-storey building's complex layout and the large quantities of flammable goods stored inside. Authorities plan to establish an investigation team to determine the cause and assess damages; the fire ranks as the second-longest warehouse blaze in South Korean history, surpassed only by a 2021 fire at another Coupang facility that burned for approximately 130 hours.
