The area where the fire occurred included the shop of Ms. Ngo Thi Bich Lien, born in 2000, and the beverage stall of Ms. Ngo Thi Bich, born in 1997. Because the two establishments were adjacent and shared a wall, the fire quickly spread and then engulfed the house of Mr. Ngo Van Tinh, born in 1973.

Authorities and local residents are implementing firefighting measures.
