At 7:26 p.m., smoke rose from the apartment's basement. Seeing the smoke, residents in the apartment panicked and ran outside.
Because the fire broke out in a high-rise building, the force had to use a ladder truck to bring people trapped in the fire down to the ground.
Many people on the 5th and 6th floors ran to the balcony to escape the fire and black smoke. Later, some panicked people trapped on the upper floors were brought down by ladder trucks.
Upon receiving the information, the Da Nang City Police Fire Prevention and Fighting Force dispatched vehicles and personnel to extinguish the fire.
About an hour later, the fire was extinguished. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
