The fire is caused by a short circuit from self-installed electrical wiring at the ground floor. But the tragedy was compounded by structural and safety shortcomings. Built in 2008, the building lacks a ground-floor emergency exit, while illegally added metal enclosures on apartment balconies prevent residents from escaping.

Four members of a family, including a four-month-old baby, are killed when a fire sweeps through their home in Hanoi’s Thuong Tin Commune in the early hours of September 16. The fire occurs at an illegally built temporary structure on agricultural land that stores flammable materials for mechanical business activities, creating an extremely high fire and explosion risk.
