June 11, 08:30 Pol. Col. Thip Khengkhoom, Superintendent of Khao Yoi Police Station in Phetchaburi Province, led a team to investigate a fire at the warehouse of Universal Flexible Packaging Co., Ltd., located in Village No. 1, Nong Chumphon Subdistrict, Khao Yoi District, Phetchaburi Province.

 

Upon arrival, officials found the warehouse engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke visible from a distance. The warehouse stored plastic pellets, chemicals, and plastic packaging materials, including plastic bags, which served as potent fuel for the fire.

 

Firefighters and rescue units have deployed over 15 fire trucks and a chemical unit to combat the blaze. The initial cause is suspected to be an electrical short circuit. Fortunately, there were no employees inside the warehouse at the time of the incident.
