At around 1 p.m. on May 1, a large fire broke out at a scrap recycling factory in Trang Dai ward, Bien Hoa city.

At that time, people living near the scrap recycling factory discovered a fierce fire so they shouted for everyone to come and put out the fire.

Because the factory was surrounded by a lot of scrap including plastic bottles, fabric and rubber, in just a moment the fire broke out with a high column of smoke.

Fire scene.

Right next to the recycling plant, dozens of residents were forced to evacuate their belongings and run for their lives. Dong Nai Fire Prevention and Fighting Force mobilized many fire trucks and dozens of firefighters to the scene to control the fire.

However, because these are flammable scraps and are piled up, the fire is so big that it is very difficult to control.

The fire is located near the Bien Hoa forest area, so Bien Hoa forest protection forces were also present to deploy a plan ready to control the fire if it spreads.

The fire completely destroyed the factory and scrap yard of over 3000m2. It is still unclear whether the fire caused any human casualties because according to many people, when the fire broke out in the recycling area, there were still people screaming for help.

According to some locals, there are even several trucks carrying scrap parked at the scrap yard.
