Around 5:30 p.m., passersby on National Highway 1 noticed smoke rising from inside the Romatic bar, located in Trang Bom commune. Within just 30 minutes, the fire intensified rapidly, engulfing the entire bar due to the prevalence of highly flammable materials like foam inside. Plumes of smoke rose dozens of meters high, visible to residents from several kilometers away.
