Mr. N.V.T (a resident of Thuan Giao Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) recounted: "The fire broke out in front of the main factory door in the tanker truck parking area. The fire broke out very quickly, I saw a person inside running out, burning his leg and being taken to the emergency room.
The fire then quickly spread, people shouted to each other but could not move all their assets, machinery and materials out. A nearby school also had to relocate students."
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that at around 11am on September 16, a fire suddenly broke out at the above facility.

When the fire was completely extinguished, the authorities found the body of a foreigner in the collapsed factory. The fire also injured 2 others.
According to the report of the authorities, the facility where the fire occurred was a business household N.T.T. The factory is about 1,000 m2 wide, this place operates in the fields of processing, processing, packaging, and buying and selling paint of all kinds.
Currently, professional units under the Ho Chi Minh City Police are investigating to clarify the cause of the fire. At the same time, verify the fire prevention and fighting issues of this facility to consolidate the handling records according to regulations.
There are still many factories interspersed in residential areas
According to the records, there were many factories around the scene of the fire, including some that were dilapidated. Notably, the road leading to the factory is very narrow, the dirt road is damaged, many potholes, and is low. If a fire broke out in this area, it would be difficult for large fire trucks to reach the scene.
