On August 4, Phuoc Hai Border Guard Station, Ho Chi Minh City Border Guard (BĐBP) said that the unit coordinated with Phuoc Hai Commune Police, Long Dien Dat Do Forest Protection Department and Minh Dam Historical Site Management Board to promptly bring 6 people who got lost to the foot of Minh Dam mountain safely.

Initial information is known, at around 4:30 p.m. on August 3, Phuoc Hai Commune Police received a report that a group of 6 young people from Ho Chi Minh City organized a trip without notifying the local authorities, and at the same time, lacking positioning equipment and unfamiliar with the mountainous terrain, they got lost while visiting Minh Dam Mountain in Phuoc Hai Commune, Ho Chi Minh City.

Rescuers reached the scene where 6 people were lost on Minh Dam mountain.

Previously, at around 12:30 p.m. the same day (August 3), 6 people organized a tour on Minh Dam mountain, however, due to unfamiliarity with the route, by 2 p.m. the same day (August 3), the group lost their way in the dense forest. Due to weak phone signal, communication was difficult. One person in the group tried to contact and report to the Phuoc Hai police force for timely support and rescue.

Immediately upon receiving the news, Phuoc Hai Commune Police coordinated with Phuoc Hai Border Guard Station, Long Dien Dat Do Forest Protection Department, Minh Dam Historical Site Management Board and Artillery Company 38 to quickly establish a working group to organize and deploy search and rescue plans, and arrange forces to split into many groups to search in dark weather conditions, dense trees, steep and dangerous roads.

Rescuers brought six lost people down the mountain and safely home.

After 2 hours of searching in this area, at 6:30 p.m. the same day (August 3), the authorities reached the scene where the 6 people were lost, about 4.5 km from the foot of the mountain, and brought the 6 people down the mountain and home safely.

Through the above incident, the authorities recommend that people, especially young people, proactively notify local authorities when organizing exploration and picnic activities in mountainous areas. This not only helps ensure personal safety but also facilitates support and rescue work in case of emergency situations.
