At this time, there is a child trapped on the 3rd floor of the house. When they saw the child trapped, the surrounding people quickly cut the door and brought the child out safely.
Because the fire was in a small, deep alley, when approaching the scene, the authorities had difficulty spreading water pipes for firefighting.
