Rescue forces at the bar
On Wednesday evening, rescue forces continued to search all rooms of the An Phu Karaoke Bar to find those trapped inside.
The victims, 17 men and 16 women, have not been unaccounted for, the police said.
Relatives of the victims wait for identification at the hospital.
Although the fire has been extinguished, rescue forces have yet to access the two VIP rooms of the karaoke bar due to overheating.
According to police reports, the fire broke out at 9pm on September 6 from the second and third floor of the three-storey bar building. Some staff members and customers were injured after jumping off from the building. Rescue teams managed to save dozens of people from the site and brought the fire under control in about 40 minutes.
Initial investigations showed that the fire might have been caused by faulty electrical outlets.
