On January 27, Dak Lak provincial authorities are investigating the cause of a major fire at Viet Hoa NB Fertilizer Trading Joint Stock Company (in Ea H'leo commune, Ea H'leo district).
The fire broke out at around 9pm on January 26. The area where the fire broke out was at a gathering place for firewood, wood chips, and other miscellaneous wood scraps, which were piled up in large quantities.
At this time, the weather is dry and windy, so the fire flares up fiercely and is at risk of spreading to other areas.
The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department (Dak Lak Provincial Police) mobilized 30 officers and soldiers and 5 fire trucks to the scene to participate in fire fighting.
Authorities cordoned off the area, removed flammable materials, and proceeded to extinguish the fire. About 20 minutes later, the fire was under control. By 11:45 p.m. the same day, the fire was completely extinguished.
Preliminary statistics show that the business suffered about 350 million VND in damage, with no casualties.
Currently, authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
