On January 26, speaking with reporters, Mr. Hoang Van Mam - Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Minh town (Yen Minh district) - confirmed that a large fire had just occurred in the central market, causing a lot of property damage.
Initial information, the incident occurred at 5 pm the same day. At that time, a fire broke out from the clothing stalls inside the market. Then, the fire flared up fiercely, burning down many clothing and shoe stalls of households doing business here.
Although the surrounding people quickly cooperated to put out the fire, due to strong winds and flammable materials, the fire spread quickly and got out of control.
Upon receiving the news, the authorities quickly arrived at the scene and mobilized forces to deploy firefighting measures. At the same time, the authorities moved people, property, and objects away from the fire area to ensure safety.
"Authorities have not recorded any human casualties and are calculating property damage; at the same time, investigating the cause of the fire," the leader added.
