At about 10:00 p.m. on January 4, a house at 53 Nguyen Van Loc Street ( Quarter 1, My Phuoc Tay Ward, Dong Thap Province) belonging to a local resident, currently belonging to the family of Mr. T.T.D. (born in 1989, permanent resident of Vinh Phuc province) was hired to live when he caught fire.

At the time of the fire, Mr. D. and his wife were picking up agricultural products from a wholesale market in Ho Chi Minh City to bring to Cai Lay market to sell, leaving their two young children at home without anyone to look after them.

After receiving the report, the My Phuoc Tay Ward Police force quickly arrived at the scene, coordinating with local residents to break the door (the door is locked inside) to put out the fire. While controlling the fire, the authorities discovered the two children and quickly took them to Cai Lay General Hospital for emergency treatment, but both children died.
