The shop next to the house also burned and collapsed. |
Because the house sold gasoline, many bottles and mini gas stations exploded, gasoline splashed everywhere, causing the level 4 house to quickly burst into flames.
Mr. Doan's wife and children managed to run outside. Mr. Doan and the two people who rescued him were severely burned and were taken to the emergency room.
The adjacent grocery store also quickly moved all of its furniture out for fear that the fire would spread.
