At the above time, a DOOSAN excavator of An Hoa Trading and Service Company Limited was brought into the auto garage in the station for repair when it suddenly caught fire.

At the same time, there were many vehicles stopped and parked in the bus station, which could easily ignite and spread the fire.

Immediately upon receiving the company's report, Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Force No. 3, Nghe An Provincial Police mobilized 2 specialized vehicles and fire fighting forces to the scene.

After nearly 10 minutes of firefighting, the fire was extinguished. The initial cause of the fire was determined to be an electrical short circuit in the excavator. Fortunately, the fire did not cause any human casualties./.
