According to sources at the scene, at the time the blaze started the restaurant was empty of customers and only the staff on duty were present.However, the fire caught and spread very quickly because of the thatched roofing, which took the staff by surprise, and their efforts to extinguish the flames were unsuccessful.
When they saw that they could not control the fire, the KTV staff urgently called the 70th Brigade, who sent a fire truck to intervene to prevent the fire from spreading even more.
