A 32-year-old mother and her 9-year-old daughter involved in an apartment fire in Long Truong ward are showing signs of brain death after two days of treatment, with a poor prognosis due to prolonged brain oxygen deprivation.

A fire erupted in a second-floor bedroom of the Tan Hop apartment building in Truong Vinh ward, causing many residents to evacuate. Two people were rescued on the morning of 16/1.
