Currently entering the dry season, the risk of fire and explosion increases, especially in residential areas and houses combined with production and business. With hot weather and low humidity, just a small mistake can have extremely serious consequences.

Until now, Ms. Quàng Thị Nhọt, Co village, Chieng An ward, and the businesses opposite the Leprosy and Dermatology Hospital in Chieng An ward, Son La city are still shocked by the fire that happened yesterday afternoon, March 23. The fire burned fiercely, quickly spreading, burning down Ms. Nhọt's entire restaurant and spreading to 3 neighboring households.

Ms. Ha Thu Nguyet, Co village, Chieng An ward, Son La city: While I was picking vegetables, I heard a shout of fire. I ran outside and saw the fire. 10 seconds later, my house was completely burned down.

Immediately after receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police force quickly arrived at the scene, deployed measures to control and extinguish the fire. Fortunately, the fire did not cause any human casualties. The estimated damage was over 50 million VND. After the fire broke out, the leaders of Chieng An ward and Co village visited and encouraged the households to stabilize their lives soon.

Ms. Lo Thi Ha, Party Cell Secretary, Head of Co Village, Chieng An Ward, Son La City: The village will mobilize people to help families clean up and encourage them to stabilize their lives soon.

The fire at the restaurant in Chieng An ward is a warning about the risk of fire and explosion during the dry season. According to data from the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, the provincial police have had 8 house fires since the beginning of the year, causing an estimated property loss of over 9 billion VND.

Senior Lieutenant Bui Minh Tuan, Deputy Head of the Fire Prevention Team, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, Son La Provincial Police: Since the beginning of the year, due to the dry and hot weather conditions, the department has issued a plan and strictly implemented the Government's directive on ensuring fire safety in residential areas combined with production and business.

Faced with the complicated situation of fires and explosions, agencies and units need to strengthen safety inspections at markets, high-rise buildings, entertainment areas, petrol and chemical businesses, etc. At the same time, residential areas also need to establish and improve the model of "Fire Prevention and Fighting Safety Inter-family Team" and "Public Fire Fighting Point" to improve response capacity when incidents occur./.
