Ember after the fire

Just a few follow-up pictures on the fire of the previous day…

CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 10/03/2010: Located along the railway tracks, the Wat Neak Kavean settlement was destroyed by a fire in the early night of March 8th. The settlement would likely have been removed and the 150-200 families relocated in the near future. Fire victim resting under temporary shelter next to the site of the blaze.

I also went past the place where the Toeuk Thla fire took place in 2008. It was completey rebuilt, with wooden houses next to each other and little access to fire trucks. Ready for the next fire…
