As a result, the two thatched houses and all the furniture in the house were burned down. At that time, Mr. Phong's mother, Mrs. Quach Thi Nguyen (80 years old), called for help. Mr. Phong and his wife returned in time and brought their mother out of the fire safely.

The initial cause of the fire was determined to be a fire caused by a family member burning firewood to warm Mrs. Nguyen, which caught fire on a bamboo wall.

It is known that Mr. Nguyen was a revolutionary, but due to old age and poor health, he was seriously ill and bedridden. His family was a poor household in the commune for many years.
