Initial information said that the fire occurred on the afternoon of November 4, in village 8, Hoa Binh commune, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong. The place where the fire broke out was a level 4 house used as a warehouse for storing sandals.

Immediately after receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Force of Thuy Nguyen District Police dispatched four fire trucks and dozens of officers to put out the fire.

Because the house was locked, the authorities had difficulty approaching the fire. The authorities had to use an excavator to break down the door and enter to put out the fire.

By around 3pm, the fire was basically extinguished. Initial reports indicated that the fire did not cause any human casualties, and property damage is still being determined.

The cause of the fire is being investigated by authorities.
