A fire broke out in the early hours of morning at a apartment building parking area, in Bangkok, destroying 29 motorbikes and damaging several other vehicles. The blaze caused panic among residents, many of whom evacuated the building. Firefighters were able to bring the flames under control within 30 minutes and no injuries were reported.

 

The incident occurred at around 01.40 on 27 September 2025 near the entrance of Soi Suksawat 17 in Bang Pakok, Rat Burana district. Pol Lt Col Prayoon Wittaya, an investigating officer at Rat Burana Police Station, received the emergency call and immediately coordinated with fire crews and rescue teams from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. Upon arrival, officials found heavy smoke and flames engulfing motorbikes parked along a wall inside the compound.

 

The blaze sparked alarm among residents, who rushed out of the building to safety. Firefighters used water hose-lines to extinguish the fire, successfully containing it before it spread further. Although the fire was intense, emergency crews confirmed that no residents were harmed during the incident.

 

Initial checks revealed that 29 motorbikes were completely destroyed by the flames, alongside three bicycles, two private cars and one pickup truck, making a total of 35 vehicles damaged. Police confirmed that the full cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to establish the sequence of events leading up to the fire.

 

Authorities have not ruled out any possible causes, including electrical faults, arson or accidental ignition. The damaged vehicles are being documented for insurance and compensation purposes. Officials stressed that a detailed forensic investigation will be required before any conclusions are drawn.

 

Further examinations will be carried out by relevant fire and forensic experts to identify the origin of the blaze. Police said results will guide any next steps, including possible legal action if negligence or foul play is proven.
