PP fire on Sunday night?

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

PP fire on Sunday night?

Post by timmydownawell »

Last night (Sunday) there were four fire engines racing up St 57 with sirens screaming. Does anyone know where the fire was? Four months here and that's the first time I've seen that kind of activity.

I heard them, don't know where they went. I live near the station on 360, hear at least one engine out most nights.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

No ladder or bucket trucks. No equipment to reach the new highrises. Little or no firefighting clothing (flip-flops don't cut it when charging into a fire) and no SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.) Tall buildings in PP, an accident looking for a place to happen.
