Fire Breaks Out in Mattress Factory(VIDEO)

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.

This is what happens when you have little to no zoning laws. Factories right next to residential buildings. Papa bless.

hopefully no-one hurt
if that factory was full of the crap that goes into typical local mattresses it might be burning for a while
on the other hand i can't see how typical (masonry) residences burn at all
there's often nothing in them at all except a hammock and a mattre . . .
