Upon discovering the incident, people shouted for help and moved away from the danger zone. Many people also tried to approach and use on-site means to put out the fire but were unsuccessful because the fire was too big.

Upon receiving the news, the Fire Police and Rescue Force dispatched about 7 fire trucks and dozens of officers and soldiers to the scene. At the same time, they divided into many directions to approach and control the fire, preventing it from spreading.

After about an hour, the fire was basically under control. At the scene, the scrap warehouse area was blocked off to ensure safety. The warehouse's metal roof collapsed, and many assets inside were burned.

The cause of the fire and damage are currently being investigated and clarified by authorities.
