Fire At The Market

[pewi]

There was a fire tonight at the market starting at the electric store on the left going towards the old clock tower.

It also damaged the coffeshop next to it, the one that is connected to the oistrich farm, and also the pharmacy next to the coffeeshop.

Was there much damage done at the market? What time did it start and when did it finish?

That fire could have taken out the whole market! Good thing firefighters were able to control it.

Here are some photos of the damaged buildings, including the nice little coffee place next door.

The shops opposite contained quite a lot of rescued stock.

So pewi, why did you start the fire!

[maidu]

I've been off-line for 3 days and haven't been to town for awhile, but a young Frenchman who is doing work-exchange at my farm said there was an explosion in the market. Has anyone else heard that it was caused by an explosion?

Interesting Video - so glad that no one died. Loved the Jogger in full running gear who trots through the frantic firefighting at 7'55" !

Even at the most fraught of times in Thailand there is always something to bring a smile to your face!

I talked to the family of the pharmacy guy whose shophouse is badly damaged and they said the police assumes there was an eletrical fire that started it.

Also according to them that shophouse was very old and so was the wiring

An electrical fire may start with a bang.

So it was'nt me

He has worked in his pharmacy almost all his life and its hard for him to except that a few hours changed his life completely.

He will probably not start a new shop as he finds himself too old.

The fire also destroys lifes of people and causes a lot of sadness.

They said it reminded them of a fire that had put down the old talat opposit the tempel some 40 years ago.
