FEBRUARY 2008: BCTFN TO
DONATE TO VICTIMS OF
KLONG TOEY FIRE

Report from the BCTFN
Committee member at the
scene (18/2/08): I was
at the Rong Mu fire site
in the Klong Toey area
all yesterday afternoon.
The displaced people are
being well taken care of
at a local community
playground nearby. They
have adequate shelter
and are off the ground
sleeping on raised
pallets with matting.
They seem to have plenty
of food, bottled water
and clothing coming in
from many small charity
groups that are there
right now (general
feeling is that these
groups will not be there
for long) As they are on
a playground site they
have good washing and
toilet facilities. The
fire site is in a very
poor area and the small
houses are/were much
more densely packed and
they did well to contain
the fire as quickly as
they did. In saying
that, 30 (ish) homes
were completely
destroyed and I
confirmed that 200 are
now displaced. Most of
these people are
documented families but
a few are not.
Eventually (anywhere
from 7 months to 18
months will receive some
compensation from the
government). The plan is
threefold.
