After a loud explosion, flames quickly engulfed the second-floor dining area of a restaurant, with thick black smoke rising high into the air. Diners having lunch inside panicked and rushed to escape.
Upon receiving the report, Hanoi’s Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department dispatched five specialized fire trucks to the scene. Firefighters secured the blaze and moved more than a dozen gas cylinders from the kitchen into a water tank in the courtyard to reduce pressure.
After about 40 minutes, the fire was largely brought under control. The cause of the incident is under investigation by authorities.
