Three Murrieta firefighters were among the 15 injured, said Murrieta Fire & Rescue Deputy Fire Chief David Lantzer in a press briefing Monday evening. The blast occurred at a home in the Riverside County city shortly after noon. In March 2005, a nighttime blast at an arms depot in the northwestern provincial town of Battambang triggered an hourslong spray of shells and bullets, killing at least six people and causing panic. Cambodia, like many countries in the region, has been suffering from an extended heat wave, and the province where the blast took place registered a high of 39 C (102 F) on Saturday.
