Major Nguyen Duc Kien - Deputy Head of Nam Dan District Police said: Most forest fires up to now have been very difficult to investigate the subjects who intentionally set fires. Because the subjects who intentionally set fires are often very sophisticated, not to mention the scene after the fire is extinguished is often disturbed, leading to traces to identify the flammable substance, the place where the first fire occurred is completely erased.

However, Nam Dan police, with professional measures and determination, investigated a number of forest arsonists.

Through investigation, Truong confessed to using a cigarette butt to start the forest fire.

Major Nguyen Duc Kien - Deputy Head of Nam Dan District Police added: Many forest fires are quite complicated, causing great damage, such as on June 16 in Khanh Son commune, a forest fire occurred, causing damage to 5.4 hectares, on July 26, also in Khanh Son commune, a large forest fire occurred, causing estimated damage to over 10 hectares.
