On April 28, 2012 a fire began in the Kawthoolei Karen Baptist Bible School and College (KKBBSC) compound located in Zone C.1A.  It took approximately an hour to put out the fire.  Unfortunately, it completely destroyed the school, food storage, library, teachers houses and other buildings.  As many as 1,000 people helped put out the fire with buckets of water, a hose and by dismantling dried-leaf roofs of surrounding houses to keep the fire from spreading.  Visit karennews.org for more information.
