PHUKET: Prapan Kanprasang, Chief of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Phuket office (DDPM-Phuket), has warned people to beware wildfires after blazes broke out at five separate locations across the island on Sunday (Feb 16).

 

The main fire finally brought under control was along the Cherng Talay – Baan Don Rd, in Thalang.

“This year the dry s season has changed quickly. Hot weather and a lack of rain in areas can cause fires to spread easily, just like every year,” Mr Prapan said.

I the immediate vicinity of the village where I live, there have been some 20 or so of these fires over the last 5 weeks.

Very observant of the guy making the warning, but just a tad too slow.

Good job his drum wasnt in the path of a fire
