DA NANG (VNS)— An old house in Tran Phu street in the old quarter of Hoi An City caught fire yesterday morning after the owner burnt incense inside, said vice chairman of the city’s People’s Committee Truong Van Bay.
While firefighters extinguished the blaze within an hour, most of the two-storey 100sq.m house’s wooden interiors and floors were damaged. No one was injured in the blaze.
