3 Die as Siem Reap Nightclub Burns Before Opening
Cambodia News (Siem Reap) On 1 December 2021, at 7:40 pm, a fire broke out in an underground entertainment club named "Elite", causing 3 deaths and one injury. The incident occurred in Svay Dangkum, Siem Reap, due to a short circuit while staff were preparing to reopen the club.
Siem Reap Mayor, Nuon Putheara, said the "Elite" club had not yet opened, but staff had been rehearsing for three days in preparation for permission from the authorities to reopen it. It seems that many of the staff were charging their devices, when suddenly a short circuit caused a fire to break out. The staff used fire hoses to put out the fire but that did not help, so they asked for intervention from the authorities.
Siem Reap Municipal Authority said that clubs must cooperate with the authorities before reopening in order to check that electrical safety is adhered to, because it is obvious by now that those who do not cooperate have many accidents. If a club secretly does its business without any monitoring by the authorities, innocent customers may become the victims [of an accidental electrical fire.]
This is the second case in two weeks where a nightclub has burnt down while preparing to reopen:
