Last evening (Monday) a fire swept through a storage area for huge pipes in Rassada which were to be used for the Phuket City Municipality flood problem-solving project.  No injuries was reported as the blaze engulfed the storage area.

 

At about 6.30pm, at the rear of the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (OrBorJor) hospital, a fire started where piping for the Phuket City Municipality flood relief project were being stored.

 

Firefighters with five fire engines arrived at the scene to discover the blaze. It took more than an hour to bring the fire under control.  In the meantime social media was abuzz with the plumes of black smoke which could be seen from kilometers away. About 30 plastic water drain pipes were damaged with an estimated replacement value about 6 million Baht.
