#1 How do blazes that large even happen? Is everything crammed together? Aren't there some kind of fire breaks between sections? If there are fire breaks, are multiple sections going up magically all at the same time? Has this never happened before so they have never had to learn from these incidents? Do they not learn? Global warming? Spontaneous Sheep Combustion?

#3 Gorb, this is the Third World -- building codes are just a means to extract baksheesh. And fires? Inshallah, right?

Plus, based on the "noises like fireworks", I bet there was ammunition stored there. Perhaps someone is disarming a bunch of terrorist organizations?
