Local residents said that when the first explosion occurred, the fire was small, but when the second explosion occurred, the fire flared up fiercely. A few dozen minutes later, staff and firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.

Authorities set up a barricade around the area where the fire and explosion just occurred.

At the scene, two gas stations were completely burned down, and the motorbike next to it was also burnt to the ground, leaving only the frame. Outside the gas station, authorities set up a barricade to prevent people from approaching the area where the fire and explosion had just occurred.

At the scene, the motorbike burned down to only the frame.

Immediately after the incident, the Binh Dinh Provincial Police Fire Prevention and Fighting Force dispatched dozens of officers and soldiers along with many specialized vehicles to the scene to control the fire. Authorities are investigating and calculating the damage caused by the fire.

Speaking to Thanh Nien reporter, Mr. Bui Chanh Khiem said the fire did not endanger the lives of gas station employees and residents. "The cause of the fire was an old, unsafe motorbike. When entering to get goods, the spark plug ignited, causing the gas station to catch fire. However, the gas station's fire suppression system, the authorities, and the gas station staff were able to control the fire in time," Mr. Khiem added.
