Not surprised. Those buildings has no fire precaution since built. No fire doors which prevent spread of fire rapidly. Not enough fire extinguishers. No proper fire training for general public. No build-in water hose. Basically pathetic Burmese acrhitec and builders are not interested in prevention of fire. China dependent handicapped authorities also have no knowledge. Terrible Myanmar, isn't it?
