On June 22, the People's Committee of Bar Maih commune, Chu Se district, Gia Lai province said that the phenomenon of smoke rising from local rice fields was due to people burning straw to prepare for the crop, the fire smoldered and caused smoke.
Previously, many people flocked to the field area of Pham Kleo Ngol village (Bar Maih commune) to see the phenomenon of "smoky fields". Some YouTubers came to film clips and commented "doomsday" causing confusion and anxiety among the people.

Through investigation, the above area is a single-crop rice field. Recently, people often burn grass and straw on the field to prepare the land for the upcoming rainy season. After burning, the fire still smolders with the layer of straw under the ground, which is why there is smoke.
In addition, this field also has a layer of peat (a type of impurity containing a lot of phosphorus) so it is easy to catch fire.
Many curious people flocked here to see the phenomenon of the ground smoking (Photo cut from clip).
According to the leader of the People's Committee of Bar Maih commune, the dry weather combined with people burning grass to clear the fields led to the smoldering fire. This phenomenon is not supernatural or mystical as YouTubers rumored online.
The police have invited some people who posted false clips to work.
