Initial information, at around 10:15, the fire started from a row of plastic stalls in Thanh Da market (Binh Thanh district). After that, the fire flared up fiercely and spread. People tried to put out the fire on the spot but failed. The stalls have concrete walls and corrugated iron roofs. The market is located between Thanh Da residential area, opposite the headquarters of the Ward Police and the People's Committee of Ward 27, Binh Thanh District.
According to eyewitnessors, dozens of people brought fire extinguishers to put out the fire but could not.
