The fire broke out at around 9 p.m. on July 12 in the protected and conservation forest area of Thuong Tan Loc Commune, Nam Dan District. By the evening of the same day, the fire was contained. However, due to strong winds and hot weather, it rekindled and expanded, posing a threat to several residential houses at the base of the mountain. Over 700 individuals, including military personnel, forest rangers, police officers, and local residents, were mobilized to fight the fire and prevent its spread.
