People who discovered it shouted to escape and at the same time informed the fire department.

Upon receiving the news, the Hanoi City Police Command Information Center mobilized the Fire Fighting and Rescue Police Team No. 12 with many vehicles and officers and soldiers to the scene to coordinate in extinguishing the fire.

Here, the authorities quickly guided people to escape and deployed fire extinguishers to prevent the fire from spreading.
