Hanoi police rescue three people from five-story house fire
Police in Hanoi successfully rescued three people trapped inside a five-story residential building during a fire early on October 21. The incident occurred at approximately 4:15 AM in Yen Hoa Ward, Hanoi.
The fire originated on the first floor, fueled primarily by household items, and quickly spread, producing heavy smoke and toxic gases. While 10 individuals managed to escape the building on their own before emergency services arrived, firefighters had to break down doors to reach the three remaining occupants.
Emergency responders deployed four fire engines and over 30 personnel to control the blaze. The fire was fully extinguished by 4:30 AM. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire.
