Since the fire broke out on difficult terrains, and the weather was dry and hot, the extinguishing faced a lot of difficulties. To put the fire under control, the division’s troops, locals, militiamen, and functional agencies and units had to clear bushes and start a backfire to preventing the fire in Duoc Thuong hamlet from spreading.

Thanks to the efforts, at 10:20p.m. the same day, forces completely put the fire under control, ensuring absolute safety of lives and property.

After stamping out the fire, the unit handed over the scene to functional agencies for further investigation to figure out its cause and sent forces to patrol to discover and handle emerging issues.
