Australian tourists report losing all their belongings after a massive fire destroyed 16 villas at a Bali resort.
The huge and devastating fire was reported around 10.30pm on Thursday night in Seminyak, an area very popular with Australians.
West Australian man Bailey was staying at one of the villas and told the Perth radio station 6PR He and his friends lost almost everything.
“We were out for dinner and on our way back we saw flames in the distance. When we got closer we realised that our villa was on fire,” he said on Friday.
‘I lost everything except my passport and money, most of us lost too. A few of them lost their passports and a few lost everything.’
Bailey said he and his mates are going to the Australian consulate to try and ‘get new passports…
‘And then we have to find a new home somewhere else.’

According to him, reports that people were stealing items from the complex while the fire was raging were probably untrue.
“They were carting away safes and mattresses. I don’t know if they were stolen.
“They were just taken out so nothing got damaged,” he told Millsy and Karl on 6PR.
