Although the villagers tried to put out the fire, because the fire was discovered late, the weather was hot and sunny, there was a strong wind, and the objects in the cowshed were easily ignited, so the fire could not be controlled.
After nearly an hour, the fire burned down the 2-room tiled cowshed and 6 acres of straw piled inside the cowshed. The initial cause was suspected to be the family burning trash under the cowshed, which caught fire with the straw.
