Yangon, April 02, 2013

“Thirteen people, mostly children, were killed during a fire at a Muslim religious school in downtown Yangon," a police officer at the scene said. "We assume that it was due to an electrical short circuit."
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, which broke out in the early hours of Tuesday morning, he said.

These hotspots had been caused by the surges exerted by reservoir content changes from instant to instant which resulted in a number of damage causing earthquakes, which I call damquakes, in Myanmar and adjacent regions around the time the school caught Fire(1 April 2013 say around 19 hrs utc):

As the surges pass from one earthquake to another they exert their surge waves on the earth wherever they get fulcrum(a firm hold so to speak) for example at deep focus points, resulting in deep focus damquakes followed by damage causing damquakes as illustrated above in the case of school fire. If one gets the approximate time at which the fire took place, it is easy to find out from which earthquake to which earthquake the surges were passing in their dynamic disquilibrium state and pinpoint the time at which the surges passed the school building.
