Blaze razed to the ground 15 houses in Wat Yuan, no injuries

A blaze destroyed 15 houses in Bangkok’s Wat Yuan community Wednesday, leaving five people suffering smoke inhalation and burns.

Responding to the emergency call, 20 fire engines rushed to the scene on Luk Luang Road and were able to bring the blaze under control in about an hour. Initial investigation identified a wooden house belonging to Suchart Thungpan as the probable source, though some witnesses said they heard an explosion from a house owned by a woman known only as Taew in the community before the fire broke out.

Police have put the cause of the fire down to an electrical short, while authorities are surveying the damage.
