The fire, which seemed to originate from an electrical short circuit, fiercely engulfed the communication lines, sending plumes of smoke into the sky, reported Siam Rath.

 

Within a mere 10 minutes, the teams had the fire under control and put out. Impressively, no residents were hurt and no properties suffered damage.
