The massive blaze at the Che Lai Pheng Oil Depot in Kandal’s Saang district, has been put out. It took firefighting teams about two hours to extinguish the blaze which started just after 12 noon on Sunday.

13 fire trucks, drawn from the Kandal Provincial Police, the Bodyguard Headquarters and the Interior Ministry responded to the incident.
