On the morning of October 22, a fire broke out fiercely at a vegetable kiosk in the Viet-Sing residential area, Thuan An town, Binh Duong. Ms. Le Thi Nghe (43 years old, from Thua Thien Hue) with her husband and two young children (5 and 14 years old) were trapped inside.

Hearing the cries for help, many people nearby used hammers and crowbars to break the door and spray water to put out the fire to rescue the victims. About 30 minutes later, when the door was broken, Ms. Nghe's husband and two children escaped with severe burns. Ms. Nghe died.

Many items in the 20 square meter kiosk were burned. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
