Mysterious fire wipes out official documents in Ubon Ratchathani sub-district’s administration office

By The Nation

 

 

A mysterious fire burned all financial documents and ballot papers at a building owned by Muang Ubon Ratchathani’s Pa Ao sub-district administration organisation on Monday.

 

Police was notified of the fire at 9.30pm and additional fire trucks were called to help put out the fire. It took nearly an hour to get the blaze under control.

The burned down building stored official financial documents and ballot papers from a 2012 election.

 

A Pa Ao administration organisation official said he had been told that the building had caught fire and that there was no guard in sight.

 

Police have yet to confirm the cause of the fire and will launch an investigation to see who should have been watching over the building and why the accident was allowed to happen.

I remember awhile back a fire destroyed a lot of the property records on Phuket...curious it happened just when a major developer was in a dispute about property ownership on the island.

A fire of convenience. Hope they remembered to make sure the cctv was faulty beforehand.

Why it was allowed to happen, clearly somebody trying to hide a serious malpractice that was going on.

Mysterious fire wipes out official documents

 

Why is this a problem? What kind of government office doesn’t have five or six copies of everything?

 

The fireman in the picture said :We could have put the fire out quicker if my legs hadn't got scorched."????

If that's the case there might be even more mysterious fires very soon?
