The incident occurred in Nam Tan commune (Nam Dan) at 10:00 a.m. on September 6. The owner of the burnt car is Mr. Van Dinh Ha, residing in Tan Phong hamlet, Thanh Khai commune, Thanh Chuong district.

Mr. Ha said there were 5 people in the car at the time. When he discovered smoke and fire coming from the front of the car, he promptly stopped the car on the side of the road and used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.

After the fire at the front of the car was extinguished, passersby helped push the car into a flooded field to avoid the risk of further fire and explosion.

The cause of the car fire has not been determined. The fire did not cause any human casualties, but this is also a lesson for people when using cars to have a fire extinguisher to avoid the risk of unsafety in case of fire or explosion./.
