On the morning of July 17, a large fire occurred at a wood workshop in Mieu village, Tay Phuong commune, Hanoi city. Functional forces mobilized dozens of officers and soldiers along with many vehicles to urgently control the fire.
According to information from Hanoi City Police, at about 3:37 am on the same day, the Command Information Center received a fire report at a wood workshop in Tay Phuong commune.
Immediately after receiving the information, Hanoi City Police mobilized forces from Fire and Rescue Teams in areas No. 23, 25, 29 and 30, along with 15 vehicles and about 75 officers and soldiers to the scene. Leaders of the Fire and Rescue Police Department directly directed firefighting operations.
When functional forces arrived, the fire had broken out strongly, engulfing the factory area. Because inside there were many flammable materials, the fire quickly spread, creating a large amount of smoke and toxic gases, posing a risk of fire spreading to neighboring areas.
Faced with the complicated developments of the fire, the working groups simultaneously deployed many firefighting teams, using high-powered spray nozzles to control the fire, and at the same time spraying water to cool the surrounding area to prevent the fire from spreading. Functional forces also mobilized water sources and on-site vehicles to serve firefighting work.
Along with the Fire and Rescue Police force, local authorities, Commune Police, Commune Military Command, militia forces, forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level and people, they actively coordinated to divert traffic, ensure security and order, and at the same time mobilized excavators, water tankers and pumps to support fire fighting.
After more than 2 hours of efforts to control it, by about 6 am on the same day, the fire was basically extinguished. According to initial statistics, the fire area is about 800m2.
The fire did not cause any casualties. Currently, the cause of the incident and property damage are being further investigated and clarified by functional agencies.
