On June 2, a factory specializing in plastic production in Xuan Thoi Thuong commune, Hoc Mon district caught fire fiercely, burning down many properties. Fortunately, the fire did not cause any human casualties.
At about 4:30 a.m. the same day, a fire accompanied by a column of black smoke suddenly flared up fiercely at a plastic factory on Xuan Thoi Thuong 4 Street, Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune, Hoc Mon District.
People nearby quickly discovered and tried to put out the fire with mini fire extinguishers, water... but failed because the fire reached flammable materials in the factory and spread quickly. The smoke column rose tens of meters high, covering the entire area.
Immediately after receiving the report, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police of Ho Chi Minh City Police dispatched many fire trucks and dozens of officers and soldiers to the scene. Firefighting encountered many difficulties due to the fire being too large. However, by around 6am the same day, the fire was completely extinguished.
The fire did not cause any human casualties but caused the factory to be burned down, and many properties inside were severely damaged.
Currently, Ho Chi Minh City Police are coordinating with Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune Police to block off and examine the scene to investigate the cause of the fire.
