HAI PHONG – A blaze destroyed 1,000 tonnes of tyres and a 40-tonne crane at Hai Phong Ship Building Joint Stock company.
Eight nearby residential houses were also damaged in the fire that began about 6pm yesterday and scorched a 4,000 sq m area.
Officials from the People's Committee in Lien Khe Commune attempted to contact the president of the company but without success.
Meanwhile, fire-fighters were hampered by the narrow entrance to the site which permitted just four fire engines to tackle the blaze. Firefighters said the fire was at its most intense at 10pm.
The blaze was finally extinguished at 6am today.
No casualties were reported. – VNS
