Preventing a fire disaster at the Takashimaya shopping center parking lot

The fire broke out in the basement parking area B4, Takashimaya Shopping Center building (Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street, Saigon ward, Ho Chi Minh city) and was quickly extinguished by on-site firefighters and professional firefighters...

At around 4:10 p.m. on October 7, security guards at the B4 parking garage of the building discovered a fire breaking out in the parking lot, where many cars are located, so they immediately raised the alarm and used the on-site system to put out the fire.

The fire started from a car parked in the shopping center parking lot.

A specialized lifting system moved the cars in the fire area to safety. Alarm bells sounded to warn and reassure customers who were shopping above the center.

The above building is equipped with an automatic fire alarm system, directly sending fire information to the command center and on-duty staff of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, Ho Chi Minh City Police, so the professional fire fighting force quickly received the fire alarm and deployed vehicles and soldiers to the scene.

The fire was quickly extinguished.

Relevant units are investigating to clarify the cause.

15 employees of the building used mini fire extinguishers and sand to approach and put out the fire. Smoke from the burnt car under the car was black and suffocating. The employees of the building coordinated with the professional fire fighting force to put out the fire in a short time.

Above the center, security work ensures that people living and shopping in the building are moved out safely and stably. The fire caused damage to a BMW car worth more than 2 billion VND. The car owner has contacted the insurance company to determine the cause of the fire.

It is known that the above building had undergone a city-level fire drill, so the on-site fire fighting force handled the fire situation quickly, coordinated smoothly and did not cause panic among shoppers at the shopping center.
