.The fire of unknown origin was reported at 6:35 p.m. at a warehouse in the center, according to email Thursday night from Daegu garrison spokesman Phil Molter. The garrison called on mutual aid agreements with the Busan Fire Department to fight the blaze, he said.

By 8 p.m. authorities had mobilized as many as 11 fire stations to respond, according to YTN broadcast news. No injuries were reported as of 10 p.m.

The empty warehouse was under renovation and unoccupied when the fire broke out, Molter said.
