Who did this ?
The man who wants to develop that zone, he doesn't need to chase people, fire does it for him.
The question is, how he made the fire ?

I can see the railway nearby. The funding to upgrade the 600 km of Kingdom railway was secured. The works are scheduled to be completed by 2013. Sorry this is not related to the fire.

They have made moneys from people bloods and lives. They will died one days with hard death.
