Dagon Seikkan, 8 October

A fire broke out around 7:15 p.m. on 7 October in Ward 85, Dagon Seikkan Township, Yangon Region, destroying a wooden house.

The blaze was caused by a mosquito coil that had been lit without a proper base, igniting nearby papers.

Township Fire Services Department Chief U Nyi Nyi Htun led 19 firefighters and five auxiliary personnel in extinguishing the fire using two fire engines and one water tanker. The fire was brought under control by 7:31 p.m. and fully extinguished by 7:35 p.m.— Phyo Sandar (IPRD)
