Bridge girder crane caught fire at night

(Baonghean.vn)- At around 9:30 p.m. on September 23, at the foundation of the Cau Giat crossroads overpass under construction in Block 1, Cau Giat town, Quynh Luu district, a bridge girder crane suddenly caught fire.

People near the scene of the fire said that at that time, they suddenly saw a fierce fire on the crane where the hydraulic machine was located. Although it was raining heavily, people still ran in the rain to call for help to put out the fire.

However, the fire occurred high up and the flames became increasingly fierce, so manual efforts to extinguish the fire were ineffective.

Workers clean up the scene of the fire.

It was not until the fire truck from Hoang Mai town arrived that the fire was brought under control. The estimated damage was in the billions of dong.

The initial cause of the fire may have been an electrical short circuit. The incident is currently being investigated by authorities.
