The way that some of the shacks are put together with wooden pallets and then filled with flamable/explosive materials (gas cannisters, or cheap foam mattresses/furnishings...etc) it's no surprise that buildings burn there. I can't imagine there are any fire safety regulations like we have in the west, or if there are, no one is going to take any notice of them.

Terrible news - we saw it on the TV Patrol news at 5pm. It strikes me that there is always some tragedy with loss of life at Christmas be it fires in nightclubs, air crashes, tsunami etc etc
