A fire broke out late on the night of November 8, damaging eight army residences at the Vibhavadi Rangsit Camp in Surat Thani. Authorities and military personnel scrambled to control the blaze and salvage property from the affected buildings.

 

The fire was reported to the Surat Thani City Police Station radio centre at 22:00. Firefighters from the Surat Thani Municipality, led by Mayor Prasert Boonprasop, arrived with nearly ten fire engines to tackle the flames.

 

The fire originated in the corner building in Soi 5, which is a row of army residences with upper wooden structures and concrete bases. Flames initially spread through the wooden upper floors, quickly igniting adjacent rooms.

 

During the incident, soldiers living in the affected residences and nearby buildings rushed to remove belongings. Firefighters battled the blaze for more than an hour before successfully bringing it under control. In total, eight residences were significantly damaged, though no injuries or fatalities were reported.

 

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
