Two teenagers killed in petrol station fire in Vietnam’s Da Nang

A fire at a petrol station in Thang Dien Commune, the central city of Da Nang, on the afternoon of May 1 left two people dead and damaged a vehicle and fuel pump.



Thang Dien People’s Committee chairman Truong Cong Son said the blaze broke out at around 3.30pm at a petrol station in Tu Cam Village.



According to initial reports and witnesses at the scene, the flames started from the rear of the five-seater van while gas was being pumped, before rapidly spreading and engulfing the entire cabin within minutes, and even spreading to a nearby fuel pump.



Two passengers in the backseat were later confirmed dead at the scene.
