A four-storey warehouse, adjacent to a luxury car showroom in Vibhavadi area was engulfed in a rapid fire yesterday. The incident, which led to minor injuries for two fire-fighters, reportedly started with sounds of explosions before the fire spread quickly.

 

The warehouse, located in Soi Vibhavadi 22 Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road, Jompol, Chatuchak District, Bangkok, stores various types of goods, including electric motorcycle batteries which are flammable.

 

The warehouse, which suffered severe damage, had a part of its rear structure collapse due to the intense heat of the flames. The close proximity to a luxury car showroom, housing several expensive cars, caused frantic efforts to move the vehicles from the parking lot to prevent the spread of the fire.
