Big fire .. old market i think

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.

Terribly sad!
Thanks very much for the concern, my place is fine.

They eventually brought in a taller crane but it was pretty much out by then.

I am surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Which side of the road was it? I used to live on a rooftop in 118 near a corner but I think it was nearer Norodom. There were 109 steps to the front door!

North-east corner.

Here is what the rooftop looked like before the fire (taken from Street 15 frontage):
