Upon receiving the news, the Fire Police Department of Thanh Hoa Province mobilized many fire trucks and soldiers and officers to the scene.

Ha Trung District Police also mobilized all forces to participate in fire fighting. At about 4am on January 29, the fire was brought under control.

Because it was Tet holiday, there were no workers working, so there were no casualties. However, the entire warehouse was burned down, with estimated damage of several billion VND.

The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by authorities.
