A faulty switchboard engulfed an apartment on Shwe Bon Thar’s upper block in downtown Yangon on June 5 after an electric shock set several leather bags in a tailoring shop on fire. About 150 firefighters, 21 fire trucks, 12 water trucks and 5 administration vehicles rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire.
Five people suffering from the smoke were sent to Yangon General Hospital, together with firefighter Maung Pho Zaw who sustained several injuries. About K200,000 was lost in the fire. Pabedan Police Station officers are taking action under the penal code for negligence.
