Overnight fire guts Hanoi automotive shop
VOV.VN - An automotive shop in Hanoi was destroyed by an overnight fire that started about 10pm on the evening of April 25.
No one was injured in the fire at Quang Dung Automotive. |
Once we got on scene, we had a lot of orange flame, said one of the roughly 30 firemen responding to the 5-alarm fire. |
Feeding the flames were several welding torches, a propane tank and fuel in the vehicle gas tanks. |
The problem with fighting a fire in a building like this is that it contains the heat, he said. It's like a large outdoor furnace. |
The fire was brought under control in about 15 minutes but took a lot longer to stomp out completely. |
Fire officials said they have no idea how the fire started. |
