1,900 students at the Yen Hoa primary school in Hanoi's Cau Giay District had to be evacuated Wednesday noon after a fire began at the school’s basement.

The fire began to produce smoke columns that engulfed a 5-story building at the school, where the basement is also located, at around 11:45 a.m.

Teachers were instructed to evacuate the students off the building. As the incident happened during nap time, several students did not have enough time to put on their shoes as they escaped.
