Identity of the family of the victim from Khanh Hoa in the Doc Lap apartment fire that killed 8 people in Ho Chi Minh City
The fire at Doc Lap apartment building (old Tan Phu district, Ho Chi Minh City) killed 8 people, including a family of 4.
On the morning of July 7, Ho Chi Minh City Police force coordinated with Phu Tho Hoa ward authorities to continue to block off and examine the scene of a serious fire at Doc Lap apartment building, located at 80/7 Do Doc Long street, Phu Tho Hoa ward (old Tan Phu district, Ho Chi Minh City). The fire killed 8 people.
Among the victims was a family of four including Mr. N.D.D. (born in 1985, from Khanh Hoa), Mrs. D.TNA (born in 1987, from Ninh Binh - Mr. D.'s wife), and two children, a boy PK (born in 2014) and a girl PNA (born in 2018).
Mr. D's family lived with an old woman, but because the whole family had gone on vacation a few days before, they sent her to a relative's house. On the afternoon of July 5, the family returned home, but because they were still tired, they had not picked up the old woman yet, so when the fire broke out, she was not present at the scene and luckily escaped.
Early this morning, the victims' bodies were transferred to Thong Nhat Hospital and Tan Phu Hospital for forensic work, then taken to Binh Hung Hoa morgue. Authorities are still verifying the identities of the remaining four victims.

The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Force of Ho Chi Minh City Police quickly coordinated with functional units to deploy fire fighting and rescue work, controlling the fire in time, preventing the fire from spreading to neighboring areas.
Although three people were rescued from the fire, the incident still left extremely serious consequences: 8 people died, including 6 adults and 2 children. Many properties and vehicles were also completely burned.
