On the afternoon of October 2, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Phan Van Doai - Vice Chairman of Kim Hoa Commune People's Committee - said that the locality is preparing to organize a ceremony to commend and reward Mr. Tran The Anh (residing in Xuan Thuy village, Kim Hoa commune) for his brave act of saving a drowning escapee.
According to Mr. Doai, at around 7:00 a.m. on October 1, Doan Tran Phi Long (13 years old, 7th grade) was riding a bicycle across the spillway in Dinh market area, Am Thuy village, Kim Hoa commune when floodwaters swept away both people and bicycles.
At this time, discovering the incident, Mr. Tran The Anh (residing in Xuan Thuy village, Kim Hoa commune) urgently jumped into the floodwaters, saved Long and brought him safely to shore.
Mr. The Anh's brave action was praised by everyone, the local government recognized and commended him, and Long's family was very grateful.
Affected by storm No. 10, many localities in Ha Tinh were flooded, many roads and dams were flooded, causing isolation.
Although the local government has proactively ensured the safety of the people. However, there are still some cases of carelessness when crossing flooded roads. Fortunately, the incident of Doan Tran Phi Long being swept away by the water was discovered and rescued by adults in time.
