Two people were taken to hospital with burns after a fire at a town house in Bang Poo Mai, Samut Prakarn.

 

One was a 19-20 year old gas delivery man who 77kaoded said had negligently failed to turn off a valve resulting in the fire. 

 

The other was the 62 year old owner of the property in Soi Yai Jew. 

 

The fire happened at the property that has six burners on the side of a house that are used to prepare food for sale in a local market. 

 

Locals managed to put out the fire after ten minutes using a fire extinguisher.

 

The injured were not seriously hurt.

They do ... it's powered by gas ... they just need to find someone that's clever enough to know when to turn it on and off!!!

And a longer hose....!!!!

And it took 10 mins to extinguish the fire using extinguisher..

 

Why so long? Was it years beyond its recharge date or just empty.. 

You'd think that a gas delivery driver of all people would be aware of safety precautions but no, TIT.

Or how to ignite it with a Zippo doing 17,000 miles an hour!
