FORTY-TWO homes were destroyed by a fire near mile post No. 84 on the Myohcaung Village Road in Kyaukdaga Township, Bago Region, at noon on Saturday 5 March.
According to an investigation, the fire started in the kitchen of a house owned by Sikuma, who resides in Myochaungzaytan Ward-1. The flames spread quickly, as homes in the area are positioned closely together.
