In Brief

On May 2, a parked 2022 camper van caught fire at the Homigot camping site in Pohang. The blaze was extinguished in 30–35 minutes; no injuries reported. Cause under investigation, damage estimated at 45 million won.

On the evening of May 2, 2026, a fire broke out in a parked camper van at the Homigot auto-camping site (Gangsari, Pohang). The fire started around 8:31 PM and was brought under control within 30–35 minutes.

According to reports, the 2022-model camper van was completely destroyed. No casualties or injuries were reported. The estimated property damage is 45 million won (approximately USD 34,000).

Police and fire authorities are investigating the cause. A separate incident in Gwangju (October 24, 2025) with a similar pattern is being treated as arson — a 60-year-old woman who had previously argued with the vehicle owner is the suspect.
