Firefighters too late to save Battambang rice mill
14 October 2017
BATTAMBANG - In the early hours of the morning, a small rice mill in Battambang province caught fire while the owners were sleeping. When they were awakened by the smoke, the owners tried to extinguish the fire with the help of their neighbors, pouring buckets of water on the flames. But it was too late as the flames became overpowering.
Someone called the fire brigade, but the mill was already burnt to the ground by the time they arrived because the nearest fire station is 20 kilometres from the fire scene. However, the arrival of a fire truck prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring houses. It is believed that the origin of the fire was faulty electric wiring.
