PHUKET: Residents in Rawai living close to Rawai Temple were forced to evacuate their properties in the middle of the night when it was discovered that ammonia gas was leaking from a nearby ice and water making facility.

 

At 2am this morning (July 5), Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos received a report of an ammonia gas leak at an ice and water factory located behind Rawai Temple (Wat Sawang Arom).

 

Rescue workers, civil defence volunteers, firefighters, and officials from Phuket Provincial Defence Office were called to the scene and advised local residents to keep away from the area.

The take away from this report is that there was an issue and instead of burying their heads in the sand the issue was 'owned' and local residents were evacuated. 

 

Things go wrong, the why's and how's are another separate discussion, in this case its good to see that responsibility was taken and the situation handled to protect local residents.
