A fire has spread through a high-rise apartment building in a South Korean port city, causing minor injuries to dozens of people. Footage from the scene in Ulsan on Friday showed a huge ball
of orange flame soaring up the 33-storey building and shooting through the roof as firefighting crews tried to put out the blaze from below. There were no immediate reports of deaths or
serious injuries. Hundreds of residents evacuated as the fire broke out while workers rescued another 77 who had escaped to the roof or other spaces. South Korea's Ministry of the
Interior and Safety said at least 88 people were treated for minor injuries such as scratches or lightly inhaling smoke. Officials are investigating the cause of the fire, which they said
was almost contained by 9am. GET THE LATEST NEWS FROM THEWEST.COM.AU IN YOUR INBOX. Sign up for our emails
