webfact Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Fortune Town shopping mall fire put out By THE NATION Firefighters spent 20 minutes to extinguish a fire at Fortune Town shopping mall on Ratchadapisek Road in Bangkok’s Dindaeng district early this morning (March 3). There was no reports of any injuries or deaths. The fire originated in a True Corporation customer service shop on the 4th floor of the building. The blaze generated such a massive amount of smoke that firefighters had to wear protection suits with self-contained breathing apparatus. After dousing the flames, the firefighters deployed ventilation fans for about an hour to suck out the smoke from the building. Officials said the situation was under control, but they nevertheless closed the area to the public for safety reasons. Officials are investigating the scene to learn the cause of the fire and estimate the damage.

There house keeping isn't up to much given the state of the average parked fire truck. But that maybe culture? The average Wat is a bit grubby as well.

How are their skills and training? It seems they are often very fast at the location and many of them. And they don't seem to be scarred to fight the fire. I don't know how they compare to the rest of the world but basically I get the impression they do a good job here (in Bangkok). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) ^ Maybe your phrasing? There is too much ignorant Thai bashing on here. One cannot gauge the tone of printed words. Edited March 4, 2020 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
