Da Nang: Controlling factory fire in residential area

On the afternoon of August 27, a fire broke out at a mechanical workshop located in alley 110, Me Suot Street (Hoa Khanh Ward, Da Nang City), destroying many properties.

Firefighters try to put out the fire

According to local residents, at around 5:10 p.m., a fire suddenly broke out inside the factory, creating a column of smoke tens of meters high that covered the residential area, accompanied by many loud explosions.

Upon receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of Da Nang City Police mobilized 6 fire trucks, tankers and dozens of officers and soldiers from 3 units to quickly arrive at the scene. However, because the factory was located deep in a small alley and was built with corrugated iron, access and firefighting were difficult.

Scene of the incident

The authorities had to split into several teams and lay nearly 500m of pipes to bring water inside. Local people actively supported the fire brigade in transporting people and equipment to the scene. Some soldiers had to use oxygen tanks to approach the fire.

The fire did not cause any human damage.

By around 7pm the same day, the fire was basically under control. The fire did not cause any human casualties. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
