Three dead in Hanoi carpentry workshop fire

A fire at a carpentry workshop in Hanoi's Chương Mỹ district claimed three lives and injured three others on August 19. The blaze erupted at a facility leased by Mộc Bùi Gia, located within the Ngọc Hòa Industrial Cluster, which is occupied by Việt Nhật motorcycle parts company.

The victims were identified as Vũ Ngọc K., 58, from Hưng Yên province, and Nguyễn Văn T. and Đinh Tuấn A., both from Nam Định province. The injured, Bùi Văn Đ., 40, Kim Tuấn A., 18, and Vũ Như T., 39, received treatment following the incident.

The affected area, part of a roughly 2,000-square-meter plot rented by various businesses, saw its structures collapse due to the intensity of the fire. Initial accounts from workshop employees suggest a workplace accident involving machinery may have triggered an explosion before the fire spread.

Firefighters from the Cảnh sát PCCC và CNCH (Firefighting and Rescue Police) arrived at the scene and fully extinguished the fire by approximately 2 p.m. local time. Investigations are ongoing to determine the precise cause and sequence of events.
