In the afternoon of May 12, at Da Ong Dia beach, Phu Thuy ward, Lam Dong province, a fire occurred at 2 basket boats of fishermen anchored on the sand after a sea trip.
At that time, fire suddenly rose from a basket boat and quickly spread to the basket boat next to it.
Discovering the incident, many people shouted for help, mobilized water containers to run down to the sea to scoop water to put out the fire.
At this time, some foreign tourists present at the beach also participated in firefighting support.
Tourists used their hands to push sand into the burning area, and at the same time, together with local people, pulled the surrounding basket boats away to prevent the fire from spreading.
Because there were many fishing gear that easily caught fire on the basket boat, combined with windy weather, the fire flared up strongly.
After a period of firefighting efforts, the fire was completely extinguished.
The fire caused 2 fishing baskets and many fishing nets to be burned and heavily damaged.
