Around five hectares of vegetation and acacia plantations were destroyed as fire broke out on Friday afternoon nearby the warehouse A32 at the end of Huynh Ngoc Hue Street in Thanh Khe District, Da Nang.

After receiving SOS message from local residents, police officers and firefighters in Thanh Khe District, along with 7 fire engines, arrived at the scene to put out the fire and prevent it from spreading.

However, the firefighters found it very difficult to access the burning area due to its difficult terrain combined with the hot and dry conditions.

After three hours of firefighting, the blaze was brought under control.

The cause of the fire is under investigation..
