According to witnesses, at that time, the fire started near the warehouse entrance. This is where a large amount of bricks are stored, wrapped in cardboard boxes, so it is easy to catch fire and spread very quickly.
Upon receiving the news, the Nghe An Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department directed Team No. 1 and Team No. 8 to dispatch 1 command vehicle, 3 fire trucks, 1 water tanker and 30 officers and soldiers to quickly arrive at the scene.
