A fire broke out in a residential area of Hat Yai on the morning, causing significant damage to three adjoining houses. The incident occurred at Chumchon Ton Do, Chok Saman 5 Road, in the Hat Yai Municipality. Thanks to the swift actions of local residents, an elderly woman and a child trapped inside one of the homes were safely rescued.

 

The Hat Yai Municipality’s emergency services were alerted at 11:40 via the Kun Chorn hotline. Firefighters and police officers from Hat Yai Police Station quickly responded to the scene, working for over an hour to bring the fire under control.

 

The affected homes were numbered 709, 711, and 713, with house number 711 suffering the most severe damage, particularly its mezzanine floor, which was completely destroyed. Residents in the area rushed to assist, helping the elderly woman and child escape while salvaging some belongings, including clothing and a television. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

 

Following the incident, Hat Yai Mayor Pol. Lt. Gen. Sakorn Thongmuni visited the scene to offer support to the affected homeowners.

 

According to local accounts, neighbours heard a loud noise before noticing smoke coming from house number 711. They immediately sprang into action, ensuring the safety of the residents before emergency services arrived.

 

The houses are home to multiple occupants, but during the day, only the elderly and young children remain while others are at work. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, with authorities set to conduct a full investigation.
