There people were rescued from the fire.

He was immediately brought to the hospital, where doctors were able to reattach the finger.A firefighting police officer had his finger severed while cutting a wall open.

According to Nguyen Van Loc, deputy chief of the firefighting unit under the provincial Department of Police, there were too many rooms on the two floors, making it difficult for officers to put out the blaze.
