On the evening of December 8, Tra Linh Commune Police (Da Nang City) said that Mr. Ho Van dep (born in 1932) fell into the fire while heating up, leading to a tragic accident.
The incident occurred on the evening of December 7. As soon as they received the report, the police force quickly arrived at the scene to verify. Through initial investigation, at the time of the fire, the homeowner, Mr. Ho Van Tan (born in 1978) and Mrs. Ho Thi Thoc (born in 1986) went to the neighbor's house, with only Mr. dep - Mrs. Thoc's biological father - in the house.
According to Tra Linh Commune Police, due to the cold weather and daily warming habits, Mr. dep set the fire in the kitchen. However, his old age, difficulty walking and underlying illness caused him to suddenly fall into a burning fire. "When the old man fell into the kitchen, the fire broke out strongly and quickly spread to the dry firewood trays above, then burned the entire wooden house" - a representative of the Commune Police informed.
The house was made of flammable materials, combined with firewood stored right on the stove, so the fire broke out fiercely in a short time. Mr. dep could not get out by himself and could not shout, causing people around to not detect it early. When the on-site forces controlled the fire, the victim's body was found in the kitchen area.
Immediately after the incident, the leaders of Tra Linh Commune People's Committee visited and encouraged the family. The People's Committee assigned relevant units to support the rebuilding of the new house as soon as possible, and at the same time directed the Commune Police to ensure security and order in the area.
Local authorities recommend that people in cold weather should pay special attention to safety when groups of fire warm up: do not leave flammable materials near the kitchen, do not leave the elderly or children alone at home when there is a fire, and check the kitchen before leaving the house to limit the risk of fire and explosion.
