Thirteen students and four teachers of the famous Dhepsirin high school in Bangkok were trapped in a burning building on the campus before being jrescued safely by firemen.

 

The students, who are members of the school’s brass band, were lodged at the school for training to participate in the BSRU Thailand band competition to be held at the Thai-Japanese youth centre in Din Daeng during January 14-15.

 

The fire reportedly took place on the third floor of the building and, shortly afterward, fire trucks were rushed to the scene after being alerted of the incident.

Police suspected that the fire was started by an electrical short circuit and it quickly spread out because there were many files in the room.
