NewGuy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Lots of billowing black smoke coming from the vicinity of the VC hotel. Can't see what is on fire but the plume goes high. Just now can hear fire engines on the way. Hope no one is seriously hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Started to rain. Given the black smoke, not sure if water will help though. Smells like oil burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryB1263 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Still burning. Damn. If it's electrical equipment burning maybe it will spare the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still looks to be raging out of control and I'd be very surprised if there weren't casualties. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonseeker Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Saw it from the very beginning. Fire-Dept. was there reasonable fast, so were ambulances. Access was quite difficult as it was happening behind the 2nd. Rd. front and behind the Arab restaurants and the small Bonbon convenience store in the corner. O.c. it looked like organized chaos, but so do most fires. Thank God for the heavy rain, that prevented a bigger catastrophe. I feel sorry for the owners who probably did not have insurance, just a guess. I was a bit appalled by the many smiling and laughing onlookers. BTW. there was a bunch of gas bottles in that area and they blew up one after another. A big batch was removed in the very beginning, but then it got too dangerous to get near them. Hopefully nobody got hurt. MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 That explains the traffic chaos. It took me 1 hour from Jomtien to Friendship market. Still very slow moving traffic, think I will wait here a couple of hours. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) The header on the email notification for TV Topics I got this afternoon was: BREAKING: Big fire engulfs downton Jomtien in Pattaya Downtown Jomtien? engulfs? There did seem to be quite a few ambulances going back and forth. I hope no one was seriously injured. That smoke could definitely cause some breathing problems. Not sure if they have any protective equipment to prevent smoke inhalation especially when the fire involves toxic substances. Anyway it seems to have been quelled.
