A fire broke out in Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Vietnam , at 2:00 pm on August 27.

According to some workers who are working at the 7 th floor of the building’s garage, the fire took place due to workers’ carelessness while installing air-conditioners here.

Right after being informed, firefighting forces were present at the scene to stamp out the fire.

According to initial information, the fire totally damaged three air-conditioners each worth 1 billion VND.

Construction on Keangnam Tower , an investment of the Keangnam Group of the Republic of Korea , started in March 2007. The 336m-tall building, which includes two 48-storey blocks, ranks 17 th in height and fifth in acreage in the world.
