Fire damages shophouses in Bangkok

By The Nation

 

Residents of a row of three-storeyed shophouses near a market in Bangkok’s Ratchathewee district were evacuated safely after a fire spread through their houses on Saturday morning, police said.

 

Police said the fire started at the 6 units of shophouses on Ratchaprarop Road near Chaimongkol market at 5.10am.

 

Firefighters had a tough time reaching the site as the shophouses are located on a small soi, but they managed to put out the blaze by 7am.

 

Police said the fire started on the first floor of a garment shop and spread to other floors and units very fast.

 

Thick smoke prompted police to close traffic from the Ratchaprarop intersection to the Pratunam intersection.
