On the afternoon of July 14, leaders of Dai Lanh commune, Van Ninh district (Khanh Hoa) said that a fishing boat in the area caught fire this afternoon (July 14) while anchored at Dai Lanh beach.
Previously, at noon on July 14, many people near Dai Lanh beach discovered a column of smoke rising from the sea and ran out to see the fire covering the rear of a ship parked outside the common anchorage area.
Immediately afterwards, people quickly drove nearby boats to try to extinguish the fire. After nearly 30 minutes of trying to put out the fire, the fire on the ship was finally extinguished.
Initially, it was verified that this was the boat of a fisherman in the area. There was no one on the boat at the time of the fire. The fire caused the fishermen's means of catching seafood on the boat to be destroyed, such as detectors, fishing gear, equipment and objects.
Also according to the leader of Dai Lanh Commune People's Committee, the authorities' initial assessment of the cause of the fire was a short circuit in electrical equipment.
