Just saw fire engines going past Kandal Market and heading for Sisowath Quay and possibly Old Market area.

Yes, it was corner Streets 118 and 15, virtually opposite my place. I wasn't home but got alerted to it in time to return and see the fire being put out, and all the rooftop shacks destroyed. A lot of people who didn't have much to begin with just lost everything they had. I only hope everyone got out alive. I feel devastated just witnessing this. Horrific.
