Fire hazard stalks Vietnam’s tube houses
By Long Nguyen April 9, 2021 | 08:23 pm GMT+7
With only one exit and inadequate safety standards, Vietnam’s so-called ‘tube houses’ pose a severe fire risk to their occupants.
In just one week recently, there was a fire each in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh which claimed 10 lives.
The one in Saigon’s Thu Duc City on March 30 killed six members of a family after completely engulfing their house. It is not known yet if they were burned to death or died of asphyxiation.
On April 4, four people died in the capital’s Dong Da District after their house, which had an infant clothing store, caught fire.
