Fortunately, the fire did not cause any casualties because the vendors had already closed their stalls and gone home. However, three kiosks selling groceries, clothes, votive offerings, etc. were burned down.
According to preliminary statistics from households, the fire caused property damage of about 300 million VND. Initial assessment is that the cause of the fire may have been an electrical short circuit.
