A house burned down overnight for a strange reason.
(Baonghean.vn) - Due to carelessness, a house in Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son was burned down overnight, causing damage to almost all of its property.
The fire broke out at around 9:00 p.m. on September 16, 2023 in Tong Khu village, Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son district. The burnt house belonged to the family of Mr. Lau No Tu and his wife, Mrs. Xong Y Chu.
The initial cause of the fire, according to family members, was that on the afternoon of September 16, Ms. Xong Y Chu went to collect burned sawdust from a carpentry household in the village to use as fertilizer. Thinking that the sawdust had gone out, Ms. Chu scooped it into a bag and put it in the kitchen. But then the sawdust smoldered again and eventually burned down the entire kitchen and two main rooms of the house.
Fortunately, the fire did not cause any casualties, but more than 40 million VND in cash that the family had saved was burned. The house and the burned items were worth about 100 million VND. This house was part of a residential planning project invested in by the Economic and Military Zone 4 in 2007.
As soon as the incident was discovered, the authorities and local people actively worked together to put out the fire, but the fire was so large that it burned down almost the entire house and property.
Sharing the loss of the people, on the morning of September 17, representatives of the local Party Committee, government and forces stationed in the area came to encourage, visit and support the family to overcome the consequences.
Representing the Economic-Military Group 4, Colonel Chu Huy Luong - Political Commissar came to encourage, visit and present the family with 2 million VND. The Administrative Board - Economic-Military Group 4 sent 5 comrades to help the family clean up and temporarily cover the roof with plastic tarps for temporary living and presented the family with 01 box of instant noodles, 500,000 VND in cash to help Mr. Lau No Tu's family stabilize their lives soon.
In addition to support, authorities also recommend that people be vigilant and thoroughly implement fire prevention and fighting measures.
