Police Ho Chi Minh City are investigating a house fire that engulfed a pho eatery in Tan Binh District on Wednesday.

The fire erupted at around 4:00 pm on Wednesday in a three-story house located at 115 Dong Den, Ward 12, Tan Binh District. 

Residents in the house managed to escape the flames after neighbors notified them that the building was ablaze.  

The neighborhood attempted to quell the fire but it still managed to spread upward and engulf the building.

Four fire trucks and dozens of firefighters from the fire brigade of Tan Binh District promptly arrived at the scene to handle the fire. 

By 5:00 pm, the flames had been put under control but two motorbikes and several valuable were damaged beyond repair. 

Local police are still investigating the cause of the fire.
