Again it seems to be an electrical problem on insulation, similar to Mountain B, but this time no injuries as the building was not in use. I would have more concerns about this than an old car fire.

Then you must look at electricity installations as a whole in LOS, which generally is appalling, together with no existent inspections. Take extension leads on sale, that take 3 pin earthed wire plugs, but the wall socket plug on it only has 2 pins, so nothing is earth.........😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Item first ignited) I have not further details of the electrical systems, layout, design, maintenance, or loadings, so impossible to make a judgement. The investigation and insurance company, I am sure, will determined the events and cause of why the fire started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mran66 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It's actually amazing how few building fires you see knowing how the typical electric installations are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again words were copied from a Thai news report, hence I can not link as in Thai language. It means that the building was smoke logged after the fire was extinguished, and PPV (positive pressure ventilation) fan was used to clear the building. In the past a fire hose was used, with the water jet pointing out of the building to create a venturi effect to clear the smoke, called hydraulic ventilation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that was Mountain B, August 2022, an illegally constructed club with inadequate means of escape (exits) The small fire in the roof soon spread all over the building as it was lined with highly inflammable acoustic foam, leading to a smoke explosion (backdraft), hence why the videos of the incident shows people running from the building with their clothes on fire. Many similar incidents in nightclubs have occurred worldwide. Google Station nightclub fire, that is a scary video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it will depend on what has happened and what the emergency is, as to which is needed and most relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
