Around 10 PM, a fire erupted at the used motorcycle shop located at 23 Nguyen Khanh Toan. Residents reported the blaze started inside as a small spark before rapidly spreading, creating a smoke column tens of meters high. During the fire, several explosions were heard.
At the time, the shop was closed for business. Some employees still inside opened the roller door and, with the help of passersby, moved many motorcycles out.
At least 4 fire trucks were dispatched to the scene. Due to a nearby parking lot, Fire and Rescue Police sprayed water from multiple directions to prevent the flames from spreading. The fire was extinguished around 10:50 PM.
The fire caused no human casualties. Property damage and the cause of the blaze are being investigated. The shop primarily dealt in used motorcycles, including many Honda SH models.
