The area where the fire broke out is home to many workers’ dormitories, with many houses serving as both a place to live and a place to collect scrap. The fire broke out so fiercely that people were helpless in putting it out with conventional fire extinguishers.

"The area where the fire broke out contained a lot of scrap metal, so the fire spread very quickly. Luckily, the fire department was a few hundred meters away from the scene, so they arrived in time to put out the fire and prevent it from spreading," said Mr. N.V.N (a resident near the scene).

After a short time, the fire was brought under control. Tan Phu District Police are currently assessing the damage and investigating the cause of the fire.
