[webfact]

 

A devastating fire engulfed an auto accessories store in the heart of the northeastern Issan province of Chaiyaphum, causing over 10 million baht in damages. The inferno is believed to have been sparked by an electrical short circuit. The inferno destroyed a shop that had been in operation for over 50 years.

 

Yesterday, at around 11.10pm, Deputy Investigator Watcharin Huchaiyaphum from the Chaiyaphum City Police Station was alerted to the fire by the 191 Radio Centre. The fire had broken out at the Autosound Branch 5, a commercial three-storey building at 254/10-11, Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chaiyaphum Province.

 

Upon arrival, more than 10 municipal fire trucks from Chaiyaphum and nearby Subdistrict Administrative Organisations were on the scene, battling the flames engulfing the commercial building from the first to the third floor.

I wonder if the electricity supply/circuit had been inspected and/or tested during this period??
