As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, according to initial information, at around 5:54 a.m. on December 1, a fire broke out at Hanoi Beer Factory, No. 183 Hoang Hoa Tham, Ngoc Ha Ward.
Immediately after receiving the report, the Hanoi City Police Command Information Center assessed that the fire was at risk of spreading to neighboring factory areas. The center immediately dispatched 7 fire trucks and nearly 50 officers and soldiers from the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team of Areas 2, 8, 10 - Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of Hanoi City Police to the scene, coordinating with the Ward Police and local security forces to organize fire fighting and rescue.
The Commander of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department also increased 1 command vehicle and 1 vehicle carrying vehicles to serve the direct direction at the scene.
At the fire area, the authorities determined that the fire broke out on the 2nd floor of a 2-storey building in the factory premises. Inside, there were many flammable materials, generating a lot of toxic smoke, causing the fire to spread rapidly, threatening the roofs of factories and neighboring residential areas. reconnaissance work showed that no one was trapped, helping the commanding forces focus on spreading fire and approaching deep into the fire spot.
Fire extinguishers are deployed from many directions, using on-site water sources combined with exploiting surrounding water glands to increase the spraying flow. At the same time, the police force coordinated with the Traffic Police to organize traffic flow, ensure security and order, and create a safe corridor for fire fighting vehicles to operate.
After nearly an hour of efforts, by 6:55 a.m., the fire was under control; the risk of spreading to other areas was eliminated. At around 7:20 a.m., the authorities completely extinguished the fire and continued to spray water to cool it down, extinguish the extinguishments, and check the structures to prevent the fire from re-igniting.
The cause of the fire and the damage are being counted and investigated by the authorities.
