Two fires break out in Binh Phuoc Province

BINH PHUOC (VNS)— A fierce fire broke out yesterday morning at a cashew nut processing workshop in Minh Lap Commune, Chon Thanh District, southern Binh Phuoc Province.

It took two fire-engines and 14 firemen more than an hour to tackle the formidable blaze which caused around VND1 billion (US$47,600) worth of damage to the Long Son – Binh Phuoc Company's branch.

On the same day, fire also gutted a shoe shop at the Dong Soai Market in the province despite three fire-engines and 20 firemen dousing the flames within an hour.

No human loss was reported in either fire and authorities are investigating the respective causes. — VNS
