Using wooden ladder to rescue 4 people trapped by fire

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of February 10, while sleeping with her two children on the second floor, Ms. Le Thi Lai's family pharmacy at 28 Dinh Cong Trang Street - Vinh City suddenly caught fire.

The incident occurred at around 1:45 p.m. on February 10. At that time, people living around the pharmacy discovered smoke coming from the first floor of Ms. Le Thi Lai's house (which is also where the family's pharmacy is located). However, because the roller shutter door to the house was locked, people could not access it to put out the fire, so they called the fire department.

Upon receiving the news, Fire Police Department No. 1 (Nghe An Province Fire Police) mobilized forces to approach the scene and deployed a fire fighting team. While the fire fighting team broke down the door and sprayed water to put out the fire on the first floor, the rescue team used a wooden ladder to climb to the second floor to rescue the victims who were panicking because they were trapped.
