[Main Library] Regarding the fire that occurred at Main Library on February 6th.
A fire broke out in the reading room on the 2nd floor of Main Library at 2 p.m. on February 6, 2025.
The cause of the fire was a lithium-ion battery. The battery shorted out, exploded and caught fire.
The fire alarm was sounded at 2:02, and the fire was extinguished 3 minutes later. After confirming safety, the library reopened.
No books were burned.
Thank you for the cooperation in firefighting efforts, activating the fire alarm, and evacuation.
