Upon receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team of Binh Thanh District Police mobilized many officers and soldiers to fight the fire. Because the fire area was built with a "tiger cage", the police had many difficulties in approaching and rescuing the victims.

A few minutes later, the fire was completely extinguished. There were no human casualties but some property was burned. Initially, the authorities determined that the fire was caused by an electrical problem.
