“The cause of the fire is unknown, but the fire started at about 1p.m. in En Long village, where En people are populated,” Nang Khong Phoo said.

“Most houses were made of wood which made the fire worse,” she added.

All residents in the area had been asked to evacuate the village and relocate to the monasteries where a temporary joint operations centre had been set up.

There isn’t an estimate of how much property had been lost and or damaged. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
