The fire broke out on a passenger train in Phu Yen Province on June 6


The fire broke out at 5.30 am when the Hue-Nha Trang train was running through Phu Yen Province. When the train arrived at Hao Son Station, the driver quickly called for all employees to help with the fire and let the passengers out.

The fire was extinguished after 30 minutes and the train received a safety inspection. Two fire engines were also sent out in case the fire broke out again.

Several crew members suffer from minor injuries. Passengers were relocated to other empty carriages to continue the trip. The third carriage, where the fire broke out, was detached from the train. The incident didn't affect other trains.

The crew apologised to the passengers and said that the fire was caused by a short circuit.

The incident is still under investigation.
