The hypothetical situation is that at 9am on October 4, a car parked in the B2 basement of the MPlaza Saigon building suddenly leaked fuel due to an electrical short circuit inside the car, causing a fire. Because the combustible material was gasoline, the large heat radiation caused the fire to spread very quickly to adjacent vehicles, forming a large fire.

At the time of the three incidents, there were about 3,000 people working, shopping and staying at the MPlaza Building. Evacuating from the upper floors of the building was difficult due to the amount of toxic smoke spreading through the technical systems and stairwells to the upper floors, causing suffocation and difficulty breathing for the people escaping.

During fire fighting, the building's structures can be deformed and collapse, trapping victims on the upper floors. In addition to deploying water hoses to directly extinguish the fire, using rescue vehicles and ladder trucks with the advantage of high altitude can bring water hoses to extinguish the fire, cool it, and at the same time use suction and push machines to remove smoke, increasing visibility for firefighters participating in fire fighting.
