Karaoke owner's wife said the disaster was caused by "bad luck", arguing when declaring: "Confident with the fire protection system"

Sharing with a VnExpress reporter, the wife of the owner of Karaoke An Phu is confident with the fire protection system at her establishment. For the dead victims, the family will support 30 million, the injured 5 million and pay the entire hospital fees.

Regarding the fire that kille.d 32 people at An Phu Karaoke bar (Binh Duong. By September 11, the authorities had completed identifying the victims, specifically, out of a total of 32 victims. There are 16 men and 16 women who died. 17 injured people have been discharged from hospital. 15 cases, 2 severe cases are still being treated at the hospital.

According to information from the authorities, the initial cause of the fire was an electrical short on the 2nd floor. Inside the interior there were many items and decorations that were easy to catch fire, so the fire broke out very quickly, making it difficult to difficulty in rescue work. Notably, when the fire was discovered, the staff of An Phu Karaoke bar went to the room to announce, but the guests continued to drag the staff to close the door to continue singing. Binh Duong Provincial Police also denied the information that the theater room had a door latch, but only a latch in the restroom.

The investigation agency added that the Karaoke bar has been operating since 2016, having registered all the documents and legal procedures such as: Certificate of business household registration; Certificate of security and order; Certificate of karaoke operation Certificate of design approval for fire prevention and fightin.g; Minutes of safety inspection on fire prevention and fightin.g at the facility in 2019, 2021, 2022.

Notably, on April 27, the inspection team of the Thuan An City Police Department asked the owner of the facility to immediately contact a specialized electrical unit to check and review the current status of the power system, assess the current state of the electrical system and assess the situation. The status of the electrical system is in use. However, after many months, the owner of An Phu Karaoke restaurant has not yet conducted the inspection and review as required by the fire protection unit.

On September 13, sharing with the media about the recent fire. Ms. Hoa, wife of Mr. Le Anh Xuan - owner of An Phu karaoke bar, said her business is sustainable. The recent disaster left too many heavy losses. Before the rumors about the "hidden corner" inside, Ms. Hoa expressed her business criteria as "luxurious, clean, safe, everyone wants to come". It is normal for men to want to show that they have mone.y and should hire an employee to pour beer.

Before the question about the fire protection system at the shop, the wife of the owner of An Phu establishment is very confident because each floor has a long water pipe that extends to the room. There are 2 ladders, 2 exit doors, very airy. The owner added that the recent incident was a matter of bad luck and force majeure.

That day I heard my brother called and said the shop was on fire. At that time, I just thought it was a small fire, flashing up. My side does full fire protection, there's nothing to be afraid of. The shop worked from 2015-2016 to now, very disciplined about fire prevention. At that time, Hanoi also had a fire (a karaoke bar fire caused 13 deaths), so I was afraid to do it from the stairs to the fire department. I do it for the sake of my heart, if something happens, it will affect me, so I do everything thinking that both sides benefit.

On each floor, I am equipped with a long water pipe, about 4 cm in diameter, which can be pulled into each room for daily cleaning because guests drink beer, the room is very smelly. The hose is pre-installed with the water system, so if any floor burns, just turn the faucet, pull the water pipe into the spray. But that night the staff could not come up to pull the water line out. The smoke kept coming in, running up was already overflowing, probably due to burning decorations and soundproofing materials. The shop wants to soundproof, not to spread the noise outside, the wall must be thick.

After Ms. Hoa's share, on social forums, the stream was divided into 2 different views. One side sympathized that it was an unintended incident, however, the other department also expressed doubts about the quality of fire protection at this facility.

"The painting is lonely - No one can predict anything - And no one wants that. Only condolences to the family and the unfortunate people who have passed away quickly."

"She's also right, if you don't pass fire protection, you won't be granted a business license"

"Doing but not working, without lubrication, it's still a long way from reaching the standard. When the system is on fire, it doesn't work confidently"

"Human damage is the most, ma'am. Don't ask where the damage is the most?"
