A palm oil factory in Patthalung was engulfed in flames, resulting in losses exceeding 3 million baht. The blaze required assistance from several water trucks to bring it under control.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Paradanan Meeboon, the duty inspector of Patthalung’s city police station, received a report of a fire at the palm oil factory along the Patthalung-Hat Yai road in the Tha Khae district. He rushed to the palm oil factory fire scene together with Wisut Thammapetch, the provincial administrative organization’s president, and Oranong Songsomphan, the district chief officer.

 

Four fire engines from the provincial administrative organization and municipal authorities were mobilised to the scene. The fire was raging within the palm oil factory and thick black smoke could be seen from a distance. The firefighters quickly began to douse the flames and after roughly half an hour, the fire was under control.
