At 9.00pm on Tuesday, a large fire broke out on the 2^nd floor of the 18-storey Cicilia Hotel and Spa at 23 Do Ba in Ngu Hanh Son District’s My An Ward. 

The fire and smoke soon spread through the whole floor and into neighbouring areas.  At the time, around 30 guests were staying at the hotel.

Ten fire engines and 2 extension ladder trucks, along with dozens of firefighters from the Department of Fire Fighting and Prevention, arrived on the scene quickly to rescue the victims and extinguish the fire.

Thanks to the great efforts of the firefighters, the blaze was completely extinguished after 2 hours, and all of the hotel’s guests were led to safety.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
