Family exits burning car in time

By The Nation

 

A car-care businesswoman along with her husband and four children escaped from their sedan after it suddenly caught on fire in Samut Songkhram’s Muang district on Thursday night.

 

A 9pm report of a car fire sent police and rescue workers to the scene on the Rama II Road's 69th kilometre marker in Tambon Bang Khan Taek. It took firefighters 30 minutes to put out the fire that consumed the sedan, which was outfitted with an LPG tank. 

 

Sasithorn Wansri, 38, said she was driving on their way back from visiting her ailing mother at Ratchaburi Hospital when she smelled something burning. After the odour became stronger, Sasithorn pulled over and discovered smoke coming out of the car's hood. She grabbed her one-year-old son and her four-year-old daughter while her husband got the other two daughters out of the car.

 

They also managed to remove belongings before the flames spread to the car engine. 

 

Sasithorn said she suspects the fire was caused by overheating that ruptured the old gasoline hose. The leaking gasoline then caught fire, she said. Sasithorn said she fitted the car with an LPG tank five years ago, but did not have time to submit it for maintenance checking.

Hopefully the car insurer will not pay out a single baht to that lazy madame so she'll be able to draw a valuable lesson. Luckily nobody got hurt...
