Picture from responders.

 

In the early hours of August 24, at 04:55, a fire broke out at a two-story concrete warehouse located at Eprint Co., Ltd., No. 3, On Nut Soi 65, Soi 1, Prawet District, Bangkok.
 

The warehouse, which stores printing materials and plastics, caught fire on the ground floor, completely destroying the entire structure. The flames also spread to a number neighbouring houses, causing extensive damage. The affected area covers approximately 1,200 square metres.

 

Firefighters from Prawet Fire and Rescue Station,  with support from additional fire stations, including Phra Khanong, Sukhumvit, Chalerm Phra Kiat, and Hua Mak, had deployed a total of 12 fire engines to support the firefighting efforts and managed to bring the blaze under control using water hose-lines in approximately 2 hours.

 

However, due to the extent of the destruction, the initial cause of the fire remains unknown, but fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities reported in the incident.

 

This was the second factory fire in a Bangkok residential area, last night.
