On the morning of July 16, 2026, AEON Mall Tan Phu Celadon (Tan Thang Street, Tan Son Nhi Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) held a city-level fire fighting and rescue drill, based on a simulated scenario involving more than 700 people trapped in a fire..

Large-scale drill with a realistic scenario
The drill was organized by the Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Police Division (PC07) of the Ho Chi Minh City Police, under the direct command of Lieutenant Colonel Le Tan Chau, Deputy Head of PC07. The event was attended by representatives of local authorities, Tan Son Nhi Ward Police, Tan Phu General Hospital, as well as representatives from AEON Vietnam, AEON Mall Tan Phu Celadon, and AEON Delight (Vietnam), along with members of the press
Simulated scenario: A fire broke out in the basement parking area after leaked fuel vapor from long-parked motorbikes ignited, spreading to nearby vehicles and causing an explosion that damaged electrical systems and spread to upper floors via ramps and stairwells. At the same time, an electrical short circuit at an electronics stall on the 2nd floor sparked a second fire that spread quickly due to flammable materials in the area. More than 700 people inside the mall were caught in panic while trying to escape; the scenario recorded 8 injuries (4 minor, 4 severe).
On-site fire teams and PC07’s professional forces quickly deployed personnel and specialized vehicles, including ladder trucks, to the scene. Through coordinated efforts, the fire was completely extinguished and all trapped individuals were safely rescued.
