Report soon on Malaoro fire

PNG Fire Chief Isaac Silas has indicated that investigators will be needed to go over all statements with the employees along with eye witnesses on site at the time of the fire.

He would not comment on the cause of the fire, adding that the report is anticipated to be released soon.

Meantime, NCD Fire Commander Akia Koia says that investigations are going well despite being halted initially to deal with rioters.

Initially, rowdy members of the public tried to rampage the store and steal food left over after the fire, however this was deterred by police who had to guard the site until the site was cleared.
