Despite this, with determination and effort, the authorities of Nghe An province, the two localities, and local residents successfully extinguished the fire completely by the night of April 30th.

The burned forest mainly consisted of acacia, eucalyptus, and pine trees, with the remainder being grassland and reeds.
