Residents burned garbage and dry grass in Bien Hoa City under Dong Nai Province, close to Ho Chi Minh City, on Thursday, leading to a utility pole catching fire and thus a power outage affecting 260 households.
The fire broke out at a vacant land lot in Bien Hoa City at around 3:10 pm.
Firefighters and power technicians quickly extinguished the fire, but the incident disrupted the local electricity supply until around 7:00 pm on the same day.
Earlier on Thursday afternoon, another fire ignited on grass near the medium-voltage power grid in the same city and was promptly put out.
