The pain of a couple protecting a mini apartment, regretting "putting their heads in to put out the fire and not saving their child"

Being the first to discover the fire, the security guard and his wife tried their best to put out the fire because they wanted to protect the apartment's common property without having time to call their children.

Because he was one of the first people to live here and was responsible, he and his wife were trusted by everyone to act as security guards to take care of the common property of the mini apartment to help the households. However, because of that, grandparents blame themselves even more for not being able to save their children and grandchildren.

Suddenly he heard an explosion and black smoke coming from the electrical panel area near the motorbikes, which broke out in a small fire, a fire the size of a hand.

At this time, Mr. Dien called his wife and immediately brought out a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. However, when he used fire extinguisher spray on the fire, the fire broke out more intensely. Then the fire broke out and spread to other motorbikes on the first floor area.

"The security guard on the first floor heard the news and rushed out. Later, many people heard the fire alarm and rushed to help me put out the fire, but there was no time. The more I sprayed the fire extinguisher, the bigger the fire got, and there were dozens of people there. motorbike so the fire broke out quickly and became more and more intense," Mr. Dien said.

At this time, many people near the first floor area tried to escape. The people upstairs tried to escape to the rooftop area.

"But the door to the 9th floor leading to the attic was locked, so everyone who ran up was trapped, including my daughter and her husband and my two grandchildren. I was tormented when I couldn't save my children and grandchildren. many people", Mr. Dien sadly burst into tears.

Listening to her husband recount the incident, Mrs. Yen (64 years old, Mr. Dien's wife) constantly hugged her face and sobbed, tormented when the couple could not save their children and grandchildren, along with the residents living in this apartment.

"That night, seeing a big fire, I quickly ran upstairs to call my daughter and her husband on the 5th floor, but on the 3rd floor, some residents stopped and said 'Everyone has heard the news'. At that time, everyone was worried. Panicking, I and many people tried to run down to escape," Ms. Yen said in pain.

"At that time, the couple kept putting their heads down to put out the fire and didn't save their child at all. Now they're sitting here repenting for the rest of their lives. Everyone kept saying they were stupid. At that time, the only fire was there. It's so small that I don't think it's that big. I just think I'm done saving, so I don't have time to call my child. Not thinking about anything other than putting out the fire, the couple just rush in like two moths to put out the fire. fire with everyone. Then my child just died, I will probably regret it for the rest of my life," Ms. Yen shared with tears in her eyes.
