When the fire was discovered, the people in the neighborhood came to the rescue, actively scooped water, and used water hoses to put out the fire. More than 30 minutes later, the fire was controlled, not allowing it to spread to the house next door.
Because it was discovered late, the fire caused heavy damage to the family. In addition to burning down the buffalo pen, chicken coop, and kitchen, the fire also burned 43 chickens and ducks weighing 1kg each.

The initial cause of the fire was determined to be an electrical short circuit, which spread to the straw in the buffalo pen.
