10-year old girl escapes Thanh Hoa house fire

VOV.VN - On August 28, a fire broke out at a house in Thanh Hoa city in the northern central province of Thanh Hoa, which rapidly spread throughout the building and caused several explosions.

According to local witnesses, the blaze sparked on the second floor of the house, which contained a shop selling plastic flowers and wedding accessories.

A 10-year old girl was in the house at the time but had a lucky escape from the fire. At 23:00, the inferno was brought under control but all of the property within the building was destroyed.

There are no reports of fatalities from the fire but the inferno caused a power outage on the busiest street in Thanh Hoa city, causing people to flee the area in panic.

According to local authorities, the cause of the fire was identified as a short circuit.

Major General Nguyen Hai Trung, director of Thanh Hoa Provincial Police Department, rushed to the scene to direct relevant forces in tackling the blaze.
