webfact Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Three young lives were tragically lost to a fierce house fire that erupted late last night in Phichit province, with two others sustaining serious injuries. The blaze, which police and emergency services responded around 1.30am today, January 24, is believed to have begun in the kitchen of the two-story dwelling, according to a 14 year old survivor who reported hearing an explosion before the flames quickly spread. The devastating incident occurred at a residence in the Wang Krot sub-district of Phichit, where a group of male youths, all relatives, had gathered for the night. The 14 year old, one of the survivors, recounted that the group had finished their evening meal between 10pm and 11pm and had gone to sleep upstairs. He awoke to the sound of an explosion from the kitchen and saw sparks igniting into a rapid inferno. As the fire engulfed the house, built with a combination of wood on the upper floor and concrete below, firefighters battled for more than two hours to bring the situation under control. The aftermath was harrowing, with three young people found deceased, their bodies severely burnt. The deceased was identified as 19 year old Nattawat (surname withheld), a 7 year old boy known as A (a pseudonym), trapped in a bedroom, and 18 year old Anuwat (surname withheld), found in the hallway, reported KhaoSod. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-24 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
