However, the owner of the house, retired colonel Doi Phuong Trieu, his wife and their daughter - a policewoman – got stuck in the thick smoke and roaring flame as the rolling steel door was shut.
Trieu’s son, who is also a policeman, was not staying at home when the incident occurred.
It took fire fighters three hours to put out the fire.
Relevant agencies were identifying the cause of the disaster.
