TAK: A fire destroyed at least 100 houses at Thailand s largest camp for Karen refugees, in Tha Song Yang district, on Tuesday night. There were no reports of casualties.
The district office said the fire at Ban Ma Lae started in a thatched shack in the middle of the camp and spread very quickly to other houses.
The refugees tried to put out the fire, forming lines to fetch buckets of water, as they made phone calls to the Tha Song Yang district office for help. Two fire engines were dispatched to the camp.
