Does anyone know what's burning here in downtown CM. From my apartment I can see smoke for a large fire that look to be somewhere on the south end of the Kotchasan Road area (but it's hard to tell the exact location from here)?

I can hear the emergency vehicle now.

That was fast. Seems to be out now.

It's on Phrapoklao soi 6. Police and fire trucks swarming the area, fire seems to be out now. It's a block away from my place, an old wooden house where the staff of a guesthouse next door were residing. It's gone now - burned to the ground along with two motorbikes.

Thanks for the update.

More fires! More smoke!

Damn them rice farmers! They must come to the city and burn off here as well!

Lock 'em up and throw away the key I say!

That house is toast :-(

A lot of these fires wouldn't happen if people had fire extinguishers and knew how to use them.
