Informing the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Pham Tien Dung, Chairman of the People's Committee of Au Lau Ward, Lao Cai Province, said that by dawn on July 30, the authorities had extinguished the fire at the Information and Communications Production Joint Stock Company, located in Au Lau Industrial Cluster.
Previously, at around 8:30 p.m. on July 29, people living near Au Lau Industrial Park discovered a fire breaking out from a glass factory area, then quickly spread, accompanied by many loud explosions and black smoke rising tens of meters high.
Some surrounding areas were also affected by the heat and dense smoke from the fire.
Immediately after receiving the report, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police of Lao Cai Province mobilized 6 fire trucks and hundreds of officers and soldiers to the scene to organize fire fighting.
However, because the fire area was deep in the factory, with many flammable materials such as packaging, chemicals, p durable wood, etc., the fire fighting force had many difficulties in accessing it. After more than 6 hours, the fire was controlled.
It is known that LTT Trading and Production Joint Stock Company specializes in the production of construction materials (organic glass solutions), creating jobs for 30 workers and laborers.
Initially, it was determined that the fire damaged a 2,900 m2 raw material warehouse; the factory produced 645 m2 and 2,000 tons of raw materials.
The cause of the fire is being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
