Huge fire sweeps through industrial park in Dong Nai

Fire swept through a packaging company and surrounding factories in an industrial park in Nhon Trach District, Dong Nai Province, with hundreds of workers fleeing as local firefighters called on marine forces to help contain the blaze.

 

Large fire at night

The fire on the evening of June 25 started at the Viet Long Packaging Ltd Co in Nhon Trach 3 industrial park and quickly spread to surrounding businesses. Thousands of square metres of factories were destroyed as Dong Nai firemen fought through the night to bring it under control.

Provincial authorities called for more help from the marine forces.

Workers at the park and residents living in surrounding neighbourhoods were evacuated. No injuries were reported and the cost of the fire has yet to be calculated.
