Staff summoned over company blaze

Forensic police officers have not yet investigated the scene, which was currently sealed for safety inspection, but they should be able to do so on November 11, said Pol Lt-Colonel Darun Thunjai of the Saraphi Police Station.

The fire, which caused over Bt3 billion in damages, was reportedly started by sparks from the use of a welding tool to fix an air-conditioner. The blaze spread to the plastic wrapper on the ceiling thermal insulator and spread to cans of thinner and paints and quickly through the building.
