Upon receiving the information, hundreds of troops from Engineering Brigade 414, the Nghe An provincial Military Command, the Nam Dan district special-use forest management board, forest rangers, public security forces, and vehicles rushed to the scene. The troops closely cooperated with local forces and people to put out the fire.
