After 10 p.m., smoke and fire broke out from a 2,000-square-meter furniture workshop on Pham Van Sang Street, Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune. At that time, the facility was closed, and many people nearby used mini fire extinguishers and water hoses to put out the fire, but were unsuccessful.

The fire engulfed the entire factory, forcing some nearby residents to evacuate for fear of the fire spreading. Black smoke billowed into the residential area. "The fire was accompanied by loud explosions like bombs, forcing my whole family to flee," said Mr. Hoang, who lives next to the factory.
