Authorities in HCMC evacuated hundreds of families from near a chemical plant that has been burning for four days, killing plants and animals en masse in its vicinity.

 

The fire began on the night of July 9 at the 1,000-square-meter plant belonging to a food company on Tran Dai Nghia Street in Binh Chanh District, and was yet to be put out as of Wednesday noon.

 

A spokesperson for the Binh Chanh District police said the plant has chlorine powder and limestone, and so water could not be used directly to extinguish the fire but could only be pumped gradually.
