A fire broke out at an electric motorcycle shop in Rasri Salai District, Sisaket Province, affecting and damaging five commercial building units.

 

 


At approximately 17:00 on September 20, a fire engulfed the commercial building located at 349/4-9 Rattapracha Road (near Bangkok Bank, Rasri Salai Branch) in Mueang Khong Municipality, Rasri Salai District, Sisaket Province. According to preliminary inspections, the fire impacted five units, causing significant damage.


The fire started in the electric motorcycle shop (349/6-8). The three units of the building were severely damaged, along with 29 electric motorcycles.


The fire also spread to neighbouring businesses, a mobile phone shop (349/9), a single unit which suffered partial fire damage, and Thai Credit Bank Building (349/5), also a single  unit sustained fire and heat damage.

 

The Rasri Salai District Chief, in cooperation with the local police chief, emergency management officers, and volunteers, coordinated efforts to control the blaze. Fire trucks and water tankers from Mueang Khong Municipality and neighbouring local authorities were deployed, totalling 18 vehicles to control the fire.
 

The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) had to cut power in the area, due to the proximity of high voltage cables to the fire. Responders were able to extinguish the fire by around 20:00.


Thankfully, there were no injuries or fatalities reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation by forensic police. Local authorities are already assessing the damage with initial estimates of 5 million baht.

It would be interesting to really know what caused the fire in the first place.

It seems that electric vehicles are prone to more or greater fires.

Even if the fire was started by an 'outside' source, when the batteries burn - they really burn.
