Tuesday night's fire ripped through a built-up area on Koh Phi Phi. The blaze apparently was started by an exploding gas canister in the kitchen of a small hotel. (Photo by Krabi Phitak Pracha Foundation)KRABI: A blaze on Koh Phi Phi that injured nine tourists and left 100 without accommodation late on Tuesday night has raised concerns over inadequate fire controls on the resort island. "A grave worry is Phi Phi is crowded with communities and shops, but it lacks fire extinguishing systems," Mr Aphinan said. The six injured foreign tourists -- two Brazilians, three Argentinians and an Israeli -- and injured Thais were taken to Koh Phi Phi Hospital and local clinics.
