One of the most haunting tragedies of the past year was the mini apartment fire in Hanoi that claimed 56 lives. The blaze broke out at midnight and spread quickly through cramped, enclosed spaces with no emergency exits. Many victims were students, workers, and young families who couldn’t escape in time. The incident shocked the entire nation and sparked outrage over illegal construction and the lack of basic fire safety systems. It served as a sobering wake-up call to both authorities and citizens about the urgent need for fire safety in residential buildings.
