Authorities worked through the night to extinguish the fire.

Specifically, at 4:30 PM on May 19th, the Vinh Cuu District Police received a report from the Thien Tan Commune Police about a fire at Thuan Thien Thuan Phat Environmental Service and Trading Company Limited, located at Group 1, Vam Hamlet, Thien Tan Commune. The fire occurred in a warehouse containing garbage and fabric scraps.

Immediately after receiving the fire alarm, the district police dispatched one fire truck and six officers to the scene, and also requested Bien Hoa Construction and Building Materials Manufacturing Joint Stock Company (BBCC) to send one water tanker to assist in extinguishing the fire.

Because the flammable material was fabric scraps from the company, posing a risk of the fire spreading to neighboring workshops, additional personnel and equipment from the Fire Prevention, Fighting, and Rescue Police Department of Dong Nai Province and the Fire Prevention, Fighting, and Rescue Police Team of Bien Hoa City Police were deployed to the scene.

Police brought in an excavator to the scene to demolish part of the warehouse and sprayed water to extinguish the fire inside.

A total of 50 officers and soldiers, along with 8 specialized vehicles, arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire. The Vinh Cuu District Police also deployed 2 excavators to demolish part of the warehouse, creating conditions for the forces to access and spray water to cool and extinguish the fire.

By 5:40 PM on the same day, the fire was brought under control, preventing it from spreading to surrounding areas. By 5:00 AM on May 20th, the fire was completely extinguished, protecting the factory building, approximately 2,000 ^_square meters in size, next to the fire site.

The fire caused no casualties. Property damage is currently being assessed.

The police are investigating the cause of the fire and have clarified that it was a warehouse storing fabric scraps and waste, not a factory producing plywood from sawdust as some sources have reported.
