Panic ensued following a sudden fire that broke out in the Samphraya Temple community. The blaze quickly spread across three houses; however, thanks to the swift reaction of the locals, all residents, including the elderly and bedridden, were safely evacuated. Preliminary reports indicated no injuries or fatalities resulted from the incident.

 

Shortly after midnight on July 18, 2023, officers from Chana Songkhram Police Station received reports of a residential fire within Soi Samsen 5, Samsen Road, Wat Samphraya district, Bangkok. The police promptly responded, coordinating with Bangkok’s disaster prevention and mitigation officials, and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation.

 

On arriving at the scene, they discovered a rapid and fierce fire engulfing three closely built two-story wooden houses. Their rapid intervention saw the fire contained and extinguished within 20 minutes, preventing further damage and loss. Three houses were severely damaged, but thankfully, there were no injuries or fatalities reported.
