Fires in Hanoi districts

Overview

A series of fires occurred in Hanoi during late August and September 2026.

On August 29, a large fire broke out at an auto repair garage on Le Quang Dao Street in the Tu Liem ward. The blaze spread rapidly due to flammable materials, producing smoke columns tens of meters high. Firefighting teams brought the fire under control by 15:15, and authorities confirmed no casualties.

In late September, several significant incidents were reported. On September 22, a fire involving confectionery and beverages occurred at a warehouse near Vinh Tuy Bridge, requiring residents to evacuate goods. On September 23, a large fire affected a 2,000-square-meter warehouse complex in Son Dong commune. The blaze, fueled by wood, plastic, paper, and nylon, required approximately 100 firefighters to contain. Authorities prevented the fire from spreading to four adjacent workshops, and no casualties were reported.

On September 27, two residential fires occurred in Hanoi. In the Thinh Liet area of Hoang Mai District, firefighters and residents rescued two people trapped in a five-story house by accessing the building through an adjacent rooftop; four others escaped via an emergency exit. Later that evening, a kitchen fire in a three-story house on Au Co Street was brought under control by firefighting teams. No casualties were reported in these incidents.
