People at the scene said that Mr. D's family usually has 5 members living there every day. In addition to Mr. D and his wife and two young children, there is also an old lady. A few days ago, Mr. D's family went on a trip and sent her to a relative's house.

On the afternoon of July 5, Mr. D and his wife returned but were still tired so they had not welcomed her back, so when the fire broke out, she was not at the scene.

Also this morning, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee will go to the scene and visit people in the fire at Doc Lap Shelter (5 floors) on Do Doc Long Street, Phu Tho Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Ho Chi Minh City Fire Police force mobilized more than 10 fire trucks and dozens of soldiers to the scene. The working groups quickly deployed a fire extinguishing and rescue plan. However, due to the fire breaking out too quickly, plus the multi-layered iron doors, it was very difficult to approach the scene.
