A fire broke out at a house storing fuel near Mone Paw fuel station in Swam Saw ward, Muse township, northern Shan State, which is under the control of the military junta that seized power, it is learned.

The fire occurred at about 10 am today, October 20, and the entire house storing fuel to the west of Mone Paw fuel station burned down, and because the blaze was intense, fire engines from the Chinese side also came to help, local residents said.

"The fire was very big; water trucks and fire engines from the Chinese side had to come too. There were about 20 vehicles. Word is that Chinese businessmen have been affected. The death and missing list is not yet known," a local resident said.

The fire was extinguished with 7 fire engines and water trucks from Muse township plus charity association vehicles and 19 water-carrying vehicles, while about 20 fire engines and rescue vehicles from the Chinese side came to help, according to local news.
