Previously, at around 8:30 p.m. on August 3, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department (PCCC-CNCH), Hue City Police received a fire report at a car garage near the foot of Thuy Duong overpass.

Authorities control and extinguish the garage fire

Upon receiving the news, the authorities dispatched more than 20 officers and soldiers along with 4 specialized fire trucks to the scene to extinguish the fire, contain the area, and prevent the fire from spreading. After a short time, the fire was completely controlled.

According to witness Tong Nghia Nhat (30 years old, living near the scene), at the time of the fire, he was sitting about 10 meters away from the garage when he smelled a burning smell and saw smoke rising. Mr. Nhat immediately called the authorities.

“At that time, the garage was locked and the owner had returned home. There was no fire extinguisher around so I couldn’t put out the fire myself,” said Mr. Nhat.

At the scene, there was a car inside the garage that was not affected by the fire. However, some other items were burned and covered in black smoke.

The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by authorities.
