Fire broke out and burned down more than 2 hectares of production forest in Da Nang.

On the evening of July 19, the leader of the People's Committee of Duy Xuyen commune (Da Nang city) said that the authorities were urgently extinguishing a large fire in the production forest area in the commune.

The fire burned down more than 2 hectares of acacia plantation.

According to initial information, the fire broke out in the morning of the same day in an acacia forest on a hill in the commune. The authorities were able to temporarily control the fire, but in the evening, the fire suddenly flared up again due to strong winds, quickly spreading and burning more than 2 hectares of acacia forest.

Upon receiving the news, many fire trucks and rescue forces were mobilized to the scene, but access was difficult due to the steep and mountainous terrain.

According to local leaders, the initial cause was determined to be due to people clearing and burning uncontrolled vegetation, causing the fire to spread into the acacia forest.
