The incident occurred in the power plant located in the 10th sector of Tha Tum sub-district, Sri Mahatpho district, Prachinburi province. Nearby residents who witnessed the explosion managed to capture footage of the incident as it happened.

 

The fire quickly spread, engulfing the power plant and prompting an immediate response, reported Siam Rath.
