Fire at Tet Decorations in Ha Tien

A decorative Tet display opposite 9 Nang Tien Park in Ha Tien ward, formerly Ha Tien City, unexpectedly caught fire.

Around 11h PM on 5/2, a fire erupted at the decorative display constructed by the Urban Works Management Board. A plume of smoke rose tens of meters into the air. Fire and Rescue Police, the Ha Tien Ward Military Command, and other authorities quickly arrived to extinguish the blaze.

Firefighters brought the blaze under control after about 20 minutes. The incident caused no human casualties but damaged a horse mascot and several surrounding decorative elements, with property losses estimated at tens of millions of Vietnamese dong.

The initial cause was an electrical short circuit. Authorities are continuing their investigation to clarify the details.

The Tet decoration area at 9 Nang Tien Park was completed about two weeks prior, featuring ochna flowers, peach blossoms, and two horse mascots.
