Fishing boat numbered KG-95735 TS caught fire in the early morning of August 23.
At around 3:30 a.m. on August 23, people discovered a fire coming from the engine room of a fishing boat with registration number KG-95735 TS owned by Mr. Bui Van Tam, permanent resident of Quarter 5, Vinh Bao Ward, Rach Gia City ( Kien Giang ).
When the fire broke out, the fishing boat KG-95735 TS was moored next to another fishing boat. Luckily, local people discovered it early, then cut the rope of the other fishing boat to prevent the fire from spreading and reported it to local authorities, and at the same time put out the fire on the spot. However, because the boat was carrying nearly 1,000 liters of oil, the fire burned fiercely.
Upon receiving the news, the Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue Police Department of Kien Giang Province Police mobilized 2 specialized canoes and 16 officers and soldiers to quickly arrive at the scene to coordinate with the waterway traffic police and local people to actively respond. At about 9:30 a.m. on August 23, the fire was completely extinguished.
The fire burned down the entire cabin of the KG-95735 TS ship, and the cabin and starboard side of the QB-11483-TS ship were burned. The initial damage was estimated at about 3 billion VND. Currently, the authorities continue to investigate, verify, and clarify the cause of the fire.
