Bang Sue: The Bang Sue District Office has established a registration point to support individuals impacted by the fire in Soi Pracharat Sai 1, Soi 23. The incident, which occurred in a residential area, prompted an immediate response from Bang Pho Fire and Rescue Station officers, who dispatched over 10 water trucks to bring the blaze under control.

According to Thai News Agency, both the Bang Sue District Office and the Bang Sue District Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Center have collaborated to set up a registration point for affected residents at the Annam Nikayaram Temple, also known as the Bang Po Vietnamese Temple. This center will offer temporary shelter and assistance to those affected by the fire.

Ms. Pinthip, the owner of a factory affected by the fire, recounted the events leading up to the disaster. At approximately 10:30 a.m., her employees noticed smoke while hanging clothes, and strong winds exacerbated the situation. They managed to evacuate her mother and aunt to safety before the fire completely engulfed the factory. Although her house suffered about 20% damage, no personal belongings could be salvaged.
