Upon discovering the incident, fishermen living near the fishing port called for everyone to come and help put out the fire; water pumps were also mobilized to the scene.

Upon receiving the information, the Tien Thuy commune government mobilized dozens of young people, police, maritime militia and contacted the Quynh Luu district fire police to the scene to join the people in putting out the fire.
