The fire department dispatched 4 fire trucks, 4 pumps and 32 officers and soldiers to fight the fire. About 30 minutes after arriving at the scene, the fire was brought under control.
"Because of the large amount of sawdust, the fire did not flare up but smoldered, so an excavator had to be used to stir it up and spray water to completely extinguish it, to prevent the fire from flaring up again," said a firefighter at the scene.
Initial statistics show that about 110 square meters of the incense production area were damaged, but no one was injured. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
Also this morning, at 4:50 a.m., the fire department received news of a fire in a livestock and agricultural storage area of a household in Phu Nhuan 2 hamlet, Thanh Ngoc commune, Thanh Chuong district.

The fire damaged a cowshed of about 70 square meters, along with rice and agricultural products.
