Due to the “golden moment” treatment, the fire was extinguished after a few minutes. Thanks to that, 5 members of the victim’s family got out safely, minimizing damage.
“I think the people who died in the fire area were mainly caused by smoke, so I felt it was necessary to break the door and mobilize everyone to do so to let the smoke out and help the family get out,” Nghia said.

According to Ho Chi Minh City Police, up to now, District 12 has had 82 joint groups/80 neighborhoods established and put into operation. In the past time, there have not been any fire and explosion incidents in these groups and the houses adjacent to the group. This is the first time a fire incident occurred at a house close to the households of the Inter-Group and so it was also an opportunity for the Joint-Party to demonstrate the effectiveness of this model.
