At around 8:00 p.m. on November 9, a fire broke out in the area where a loto group was operating in Mui Ne ward, Phan Thiet city.
According to people nearby, the fire broke out behind the stage where someone was singing the opening song of the show. Due to the wind, the fire flared up strongly, the column of fire rose high and people below shouted.
The lottery crew quickly moved the speakers off the stage to prevent the fire from spreading to the equipment. Local residents and forces used water hoses to put out the fire.
People who came to play loto quickly left the area. The fire was extinguished shortly after and the loto tour stopped operating after the fire occurred.
