In Chaiyaphum, a fierce blaze erupted, causing chaos in the city center on October 20 at 19:15. The fire, requiring over two hours of intensive efforts from emergency services, resulted in damage estimated at 10 million baht.

 

Originating in a store selling furniture and bedding at 273/112-113 Yuttitham Road, the flames quickly spread through the two adjoining four-story commercial buildings reported 77kaoded.

Emergency services, led by Mayor Theewara Witnakan, launched an extensive operation, deploying more than 10 fire trucks.

 

The cause of the fire is suspected to be an electrical short circuit in an older cut-out system, as revealed by the store owner, Worathep Chaibutr. Thankfully, the store had closed at 17:00, so no casualties occurred.
