At least 10 houses burnt down in Bangkok fire

BANGKOK: --A fire broke out in an old community Friday, damaging dozens of houses but causing no deaths.

Two firefighters from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), however, sustained minor injuries while trying to put out the flame.

"Up to 10 houses were completely burnt down," Deputy Bangkok Governor Wallop Suwandee said, "Victims will be given shelter and free food at the Mahanak Mosque".

The Mahanak Community is located near the mosque and opposite the Bobae Tower in Bangkok's Pom Prab district.
