By The Nation

 

 

A fire hit two warehouses at a textile factory in Chon Buri's Ban Bueng district on Wednesday morning.

 

The fire at the Dtex Industry Co Ltd's factory in Moo 1 village in Tambon Map Phai started before 6:30am.

 

Ten fire engines arrived when the fire had swept through the first warehouse, whose roof collapsed, and the fire had spread to the second building.

 

Firefighters managed to control the blaze in the second building.

 

Police learned from workers that the factory operated its textile machines permanently with 10 workers manning equipment on each shift.

 

Police have yet to conduct an investigation.

Two times in one week 

Hopefully it will not turn into people get killed as it does in Bangladesh

Must be heavily automated with only 10 workers on each shift... maybe that's why the fire managed to take hold before it was spotted.
