A fire has destroyed 600 houses in Myanmar's southern Tanintharyi region, an official report said on Sunday.
The fire was triggered by a child playing with a lit candle in Palaw town, local police was quoted as saying.
As the village area was not accessible by fire engines, firefighters had to battle the blaze with water pumps.
The fire caused a total loss of property to 75 million kyats (over 585,000 U.S. dollars), the police said. (Courtesy of Xinhua)
