Earlier, in the early morning of October 5, Ms. NTMA’s family (born in 1989, residing in Binh Chanh) was sleeping when they heard a noise in front of their house. Opening the door to check, Ms. A’s family discovered that the family’s 7-seater car was on fire, so they shouted for help.
People used mini fire extinguishers to put out the fire but failed. The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team - Binh Chanh District Police mobilized vehicles and officers to put out the fire.
