Fire burns down cow shed at night in Thanh Chuong

At that moment, the surrounding people cooperated with Mr. Hai's family to put out the fire and opened the cowshed to take the cows and pigs out.

After the village chief Minh Duc announced the house fire on the loudspeaker, many local people and functional forces of Vo Liet commune came to join in fighting the fire. However, due to lack of water, fighting the fire encountered many difficulties.

Immediately afterwards, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police and the Provincial Police arrived and coordinated with local residents to put out the fire. By around 10:30 p.m. the same day, the fire was completely extinguished. However, the fire burned down the 3-room cowshed along with a lot of straw and items stored inside.

The fire caused a short circuit in the electrical wires, causing many households in the area to lose power.

The cause of the fire was determined to be the homeowner burning trash near the cow barn, the fire caught on the straw and caused the fire.

Currently, Minh Duc village is calling on people to join hands in donating to help the family in distress.

In recent years, in Thanh Chuong, there have been many buffalo and cow barn fires caused by burning garbage and dry manure inside and outside the barn. In hot weather, dry straw is flammable, so farming households need to learn from experience to avoid fires.
