Officers and soldiers of Region 5 of the Navy and other forces assisted people in Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang province to extinguish the fire on a cajuput tree plantation area of about 1 hectare.
On the morning of March 9, information from the Navy Region 5 Command said that officers and soldiers of the unit had just assisted people in extinguishing a fire that occurred on land planted with cajuput trees on the evening of March 8.
Accordingly, at 6:45 p.m. on March 8, the Navy Region 5 Command received a notice from the local authorities in Group 2, Quarter 7, An Thoi Ward, Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang Province that there was a crowd. A big fire broke out on people’s land where Melaleuca trees were planted.

Due to prolonged hot weather, the fire area had many dry leaves and branches, so the fire quickly broke out and spread, making firefighting difficult. After nearly 2 hours of actively deploying fire extinguishing plans, officers and soldiers of Region 5 of the Navy and other forces were able to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to other people’s Melaleuca growing land.
The fire occurred in an area of land about 1 hectare wide. The cause of the fire and the fire area are being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
