The second major fire of the Chinese New Year season ripped through a poor community in Phnom Penh yesterday, completely destroying nine houses.

The fire broke out at Niroth Pagoda in Chbar Ampov district’s Niroth commune at about 11:30am, according to district governor Eang Siphan.

It took nine fire engines to quench the flames. Because the burning houses sat on a very narrow road, firefighters had to spray water from the pagoda.

“It is not clear at the moment who caused the fire as all the affected people pointed fingers at each other,” said Siphan. “The police are working to determine the cause.”
