SEOUL, May 17 (Reuters) - Production at Kumho Tire's 073240.KS largest factory in South Korea was suspended due to a fire that broke out on Saturday morning, a company spokesperson said. One employee and two firefighters have been injured so far and the fire could burn for several days, the fire agency said, with some 207 firefighters and 77 vehicles currently deployed to the site. Kumho Tire is seeking to increase production at one of its other domestic factories to offset lost production, the company spokesperson said.
