Initial information, at around 4:00 p.m. on September 26, smoke and fire suddenly issued from a 5-storey house on Tran Hung Dao Street, Cau Ong Lanh Ward. Discovering the fire, people shouted and used mini fire extinguishers to put out the fire but were unsuccessful.
After that, the people immediately reported to the police.
After receiving the report, the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police (PC07) dispatched many fire trucks and dozens of soldiers and officers to the scene to put out the fire.
About 10 minutes later, the fire was extinguished.
A representative of Cau Ong Lanh Ward said that the fire was initially determined to be suspected to be caused by an electrical short circuit. The burnt house is a company but is no longer in operation.
