The fire started around 2pm and took around an hour to put out, but more than three hectares of forest vegetation was totally damaged within that time.

The district’s forest rangers said that there are many graves on the mountain and that the fire may have been caused by people who visit on Tet and burn incense, fake banknotes and paper clothes at the graveside of their loved ones.
