Pattaya Restaurant worker suffers broken leg as he deals with kitchen fire

PATTAYA:--A bizarre accident occurred at a Restaurant on Walking Street in South Pattaya late on Sunday Night which began with a Kitchen fire and ended with a worker sustaining a broken leg.

The incident occurred at the Lobster Pot Seafood Restaurant just after 11pm. According to one of the cooks, Khun Lodsukon aged 47, a fire began in an extractor vent, which is thought to have been caused by a faulty motor.

A fellow worker, Khun Neung aged 40, jumped on the cooker and tried to look inside the vent after a small fire was extinguished but then lost his footing and fell onto the floor.

Health and safety...

Probably not the fact the worker fell, but the situation should never occurred in the first place, no doubt due to poor cleaning and maintenance.

Faulty fan? if it was a electrical fault flames should have been contained in the motor, and there would have been a horrible unmistakable acrid smell associated with motor windings burning, more probably build up of fat in the flu and around the fan.

PS, there is no fan where the guy is pointing, so must have been a fat fire.

Bet they tried to put it out with water.

Due to the lack of any maintenance and cleaning !!!
