Welding fire destroys three ships in Pathein
Updated: 2016-01-23
A fire that began due to welding sparks has destroyed three ships in Shwe Hnin Si ward, Pathein township on Thursday. The accident occurred in the early morning on board a passenger vessel called the Pyae Sone Kywe Wa. It is a 96 foot long, 24 foot wide vessel. A ship repairman on board showered sparks onto a nearby sofa chair while working. A fire quickly started and got out of control, spreading to another two ships. It took 12 fire engines and a team of firemen to put out the blaze. The police are investigating the case.
