Because this bedroom was previously designed as a soundproof karaoke room, the fire smoldered and the family did not know. When the fire was discovered, it had already spread rapidly and was very difficult to control.
After nearly 2 hours, the fire was completely extinguished, causing no human casualties.
Immediately after receiving the information, the People's Committee of Ky Son district mobilized the district's armed forces and local people to help Mr. M's family overcome the consequences and move the remaining belongings to a safe area./.
