Transformer explosion burns office building

 

BANG SARAY:--Firefighters in Bang Saray, Sattahip district were quick to extinguish a fire at an office building late Sunday night Jan 26.

Eyewitnesses reported that a transformer attached to an electric pole outside the building exploded at around 9pm. The sparks caused a fire which broke through the glass windows burning most of the second floor, destroying the interior and some furnishings.

 

Police questioned a worker who said that the rental building owned by the Sakulwit Supply Part., Ltd., Bang Saray, was locked and unoccupied at the time the fire broke out. No one was reported injured in the incident and no estimate of the cost of damage was immediately known.

Doesn't sound like they were very quick to me.

 

I was in a bar on Monday when the fuse box started popping then cracking.  Lights started going out and a fire began.  All customers evacuated. A member of staff produced a foam extinguisher but the farang customers prevented her from using it.  A CO2 one came from next one & the bar filled with fumes as the fire died.

The boss lady offered everyone a free drink to compensate them for a disturbed night.
