By 7.15 pm firemen were forbidden from entering the building because of fears it was about to collapse.

 

By 9pm it was reported that just 10% of the fire remained as a 100 liter alcohol tank that coudn't be moved was damped down with water. 

 

The latest fire followed one at a plastics factory in Bang Plee Yai, Samut Prakan with one person reported dead, many injuries and damage to surrounding houses.

Did the smoke come up smelling of roses?

I would imagine a lot more businesses will be catching fire, especially if the insurance covers loss of earnings as fires may be the easy way out for ailing businesses.
