More than 320 bikes are burnt at a parking lot at Hong Duc University in Thanh Hoa Province

Police in the northern central province are co-operating with the university to investigate the cause of the fire which broke out early on Tuesday morning, burning more than 320 motorbikes and electric bikes.

Many students are also reporting their losses caused by the fire.

A student, Le Quang, said that he lost a Honda Wave RSX worth over VND 20 million (USD824) in the fire.

"I was sleeping in the dormitory when I heard a big explosion outside," Quang recalled. "I opened the window to see a large fire rising from the parking lot. I rushed out, seeing some people trying to take the bikes out when the fire kept rapidly spreading. Only some 10 bikes were taken out before the fire covered the whole parking area."

The fire occurred at 4 am on December 12, at the 300-square-metre parking lot. Initial investigation showed that the fire was caused by a short-circuit.

The university said that they were discussing compensation for students who lost their bikes in the fire.
