An 81-year-old woman and her two dogs tragically died in a house fire that burned for over two hours in Ubon Ratchathani. The elderly woman was unable to escape the flames, and authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.

 

On September 12, Pol. Lt. Col. Chalermyos Promsuwan, an investigator from Mueang Ubon Ratchathani Police Station, received a report of a fire at a house located in Soi Chayangkul 12.3, on Chayangkul Road, Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Ubon Ratchathani District.

 

 


The house was a two-story wooden structure, and the fire engulfed the entire building, making it difficult to control After approximately two hours, the fire was finally brought under control. Upon searching the charred remains of the house, rescue teams discovered the body of Mrs. Tiew, aged 81, who had perished in the flames, along with the remains of her two pet dogs.

 

Mr. Paramat Nopputho, 32, a witness, recounted that the house was occupied by the elderly woman, her son, and their two dogs. He was resting in a nearby dormitory when he heard sounds resembling electrical short circuits two or three times. When he stepped outside to investigate, he saw that the house was on fire. The flames were already intense, so he immediately called 191 for help.

 

Mr. Sanchai, 55, the son of the deceased, stated that he and his mother lived together with the two dogs. He typically returned home from work around 20:00, but some nights he stayed at his wife’s house in Det Udom District. On the day of the fire, he was informed by neighbors that his house was ablaze. By the time he arrived, his mother and the dogs had already perished.

 

The exact cause of the fire remains unclear. Mr. Sanchai mentioned that his mother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, often cooked for the dogs despite his warnings. Authorities are still investigating the origin of the fire, with forensic experts expected to examine the site further.
