A house fire broke out in Katwin Chan village, Bago Township, Bago Region, after a pot of fish paste sauce left cooking overheated, it is reported.

At 11:15 am today, October 19, a fire broke out at a house on North Road in Katwin Chan village, Bago Township, originating from a pan in which fish paste sauce had been cooked, it is reported.

"The homeowner went to work at the Kyarsithar cigarette factory and forgot that she had left fish paste sauce cooking in an electric pot at home. When the electricity came back on, it overheated on its own, and the flames spread to nearby things and burned. Everything was destroyed," a local resident said.

Township fire department personnel in fire engines responded promptly to extinguish the fire, and the blaze was brought under control at 11:35 am, it is reported.
