On the morning of August 4, at the scene of the forest fire in Hamlet 2, Tan Chau Commune, although the fire was under control, due to the high mountainous terrain and strong winds, the ashes were still at risk of breaking out into small flames. In that situation, the forest rangers continued to be on duty all night and this morning to extinguish all the remaining ashes, ensuring safety for the surrounding area.
