Initial information, at around 7:30 p.m. on October 18, a fire broke out at a 7-storey apartment building for rent (mini apartment building) on ​​Lam Hoanh Street, Phuoc My Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang City.

At this time, people discovered fire and smoke rising from the first floor of the building, so they shouted to put out the fire.

However, due to the large amount of smoke, people could not access the fire extinguisher to put out the fire and had to call the Fire Department and Rescue Department.

At this time, many people on the upper floors could not escape and were trapped inside the building. Many people had to run to the windows to signal for help. At the same time, some people found their way to the roof of the neighboring building to ensure safety and wait for the rescue team.

Upon receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police of Da Nang City Police mobilized vehicles and forces from many units to participate in fighting the fire, including ladder trucks to rescue many people trapped on high floors.

Firefighters divided into many teams to put out the fire, and used a 50m high ladder truck to reach and rescue people trapped on the upper floors in time.

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished later and the trapped people were rescued safely.

The incident is under investigation.
