Fire at filling station burns dozens of motorbikes

When a tank truck was transferring petrol to the basin of the filling station on Quang Trung Road in Go Vap District, the fire happened unexpectedly, and rapidly spread to nearby garment shops and a motorbike parking lot.

The fierce fire made the filling station’s staff and residents in the neighbourhood to flee on fear of big explosions.

Report says dozens of fire fighters rushed in and extinguished the fire.

A total of 2,872 fires and explosions broke out across Vietnam in the first 11 months of this year, killing 115 people and injuring 258 others, said the country’s Fire Prevention and Fighting Department.
