Upon receiving the news, local authorities, functional forces, and local people actively participated in controlling the fire.
The Fire Prevention and Fighting Team of Huong Son District Police along with specialized vehicles were mobilized to the scene to save the forest. However, strong winds, steep mountainous terrain, and narrow roads made it difficult for the authorities to deploy a fire-fighting plan.

According to the reporter's records, the fire is still not under control and is at risk of spreading to areas of Son Thuy commune. Worryingly, this forest area is located next to a residential area, so the local government has also made a plan to evacuate people and property from the dangerous area.

The fire in Son Chau commune also affected the 35KV power line, causing the entire Huong Son district, Ha Tinh to temporarily have a power outage.

| The terrain is steep and the roads are narrow, making it very difficult for authorities to put out the fire. |
It is known that in recent days, forest fires have continuously occurred in many areas in Ha Tinh such as Nghi Xuan, Huong Son, Cam Xuyen, Hong Linh, Duc Tho... affecting hundreds of hectares of forest.
