Cigarettes Cause Conflagration

On Sunday at 1:30 am, the Dongtan Police Investigation Inspector Pol. Lt. Col. Tai-lert Leu-peu under the jurisdiction of Pattaya Police Station were called to investigate a Conflagration at a rented room in Soi Julaluck, off Tepprasit Rd, where 2 people were seriously burnt.

The Sawang Boriboon Rescue team was contacted for assistance. At the scene, the flames had been doused by the people living at the place. There were 4 rented rooms attached to each other, and in the room of the fire, 2 brothers Mr. Sangwian, aged 28 and Mr. Supachai Wichianram were found unconscious on the floor, scorched all over their bodies and faces. They were immediately sent to Banglamung Hospital for treatment. All of their belongings and clothes were also burned.

Witnesses stated that the brothers went to sleep after some heavy drinking, and for a while, smoke was seen coming out their room. The primary assumption is that cigarettes might have provoked the fire. More investigations will follow.
