Immediately upon receiving the information, Phuc Son Border Guard Station sent a working group of 7 comrades led by Major Bui Hong Manh - Political Commissar and Commander, along with rescue equipment to the rescue scene.
Due to the dark night and heavy rain, many roads were flooded and had landslides, so the working group had to go through the forest, using ropes and life buoys to reach the scene.
After many efforts to overcome difficulties, at 9:10 p.m. on October 29, the rescue team brought 3 people to safety./.
