At around 5:00 p.m. on February 8, many people were surprised to discover fire and smoke coming from the wooden house of Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hai's family (residing in Hamlet 5, Dien Yen Commune, Dien Chau).
People ran to inform the homeowner but the main gate was locked, and when they called, no one was found inside. People broke the gate to put out the fire and at the same time informed the local authorities.

Upon receiving the news, the Fire Police mobilized many fire trucks and officers and soldiers to put out the fire and save the house.
After about 2 hours, the fire was completely extinguished. However, because the house was built of wood, the property inside was burned down.
The cause of the fire is being clarified by authorities, but many people believe that the homeowner may have lit incense, causing the fire to flare up.
