Yesterday at the Thai National Police Office, Police Lieutenant General Dhamrongsak Kittipraphat, the police chief, awarded six police officers and three police cadet students for bravery in two incidents.

 

The first incident occurred on July 17. Around 11.40pm, the Chana Songkhram Police Station received a report of a house fire at Soi Sam Sen 5, Wat Phraya Krai, Bang Kho Laem District, Bangkok.

 

The investigation team arrived at the scene to find an old person and a patient trapped inside the house, unable to escape due to a locked gate. Police Sergeants Sathaporn Samran and Krit Wong Lakkhayanan quickly rendered assistance, climbing over the gate to reach the victims.

 

With the gate locked, Sergeant Sathaporn used a hammer to break the lock. Police Corporals Sorawut Balchitr, Krit, Phatradanai Roddara, Manan Kanrit, and Kittikorn Thongjamrat evacuated the trapped individuals from the burning house. Afterwards, they ensured no one else was left inside the house and coordinated for fire trucks to come and extinguish the blaze.
