At about 4:26 a.m. on May 13, the records room and the Vice Principal's office of Pho Thanh Secondary School (Duc Pho town, Quang Ngai province) suddenly caught fire.

Accordingly, at about 4:26 a.m. the same day, Mr. Tran Cho, a security guard at the construction site of Pho Thanh Secondary School, heard the sound of broken glass in the area of ​​the school principal's house, so he went out to see and saw a fire in the file room, north of the principal's house.

Immediately, Mr. Cho called the security guard and a Vice Principal to come to the school. Although they tried to put out the fire, it was too big to put out.

Upon receiving the news, the police force of Pho Thanh Ward, along with the Residential Protection Board, militia, Pho Thanh Border Guard Station, and Fire Fighting Team No. 3 (under Quang Ngai Provincial Police) arrived at the scene and deployed fire fighting equipment. At about 5:30 a.m., the fire was completely extinguished.

The entire two rooms, including the archive room and the Vice Principal's room, were completely burned, with all the records and assets inside burned; the Principal's room had blackened outer walls and some assets damaged.

The archive room and the Vice Principal's office were completely burned down.
