Re: Gasoline turns cooking fire into inferno
that could have been deadly.
better your assets get burned than your ass though
I hope they can recover financially after such devastation.
the Chinese fire extinguishers that Europe/uk import in bulk cost from just $10ea including shipping, duty & vat
with less taxes & distance to Cambodia they could be even less here if only the market was legislation backed & ready for it
a spend of $10 once in 10yrs should be possible for every small business with premises especially if cooking

its just lack of awareness not wilful ignorance
stop drop & roll
if in doubt get out
etc
common knowledge in the west but only because decades of awareness/education
Cambodia will catch up slowly but surely I bet
