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

Wow; looks like panic. That'll make me think twice about leaving my coffee unattended...

Although there was significant damage, I’m happy to see that everyone made it out safe.

I don't think anyone storing gasoline next to open fire is too bothered with preventive fire safety measures.

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
