A mother bringing her child for a school exam got a terrible shock when bystanders suddenly yelled that a car was on fire. She rushed outside to find her own vehicle engulfed in flames. Residents quickly grabbed fire extinguishers and managed to control the blaze on the black Toyota Vios before it could spread further.
At noon on July 12, 2025, police from Muang Chachoengsao station received the report of a vehicle fire at a school in the district. They coordinated with municipal disaster relief and rescue teams to respond.
When officials arrived, they found residents already dousing the flames with fire extinguishers, successfully containing the fire in the black Toyota Vios with Chachoengsao plates before it consumed the entire vehicle.
Inspectors discovered a burnt electric fan and power bank near the rear console area, which they believe may be the fire's source. They noted the need for further investigation to determine the exact cause.
The car owner explained that he had driven from Bang Pakong district to bring his child for the exam. While waiting at school, he heard people shouting about the fire. At first he didn't realize it was his car, but when he rushed out to check, he found his own vehicle ablaze.
The owner said he is uncertain whether the power bank or electric fan caused the fire, since both were stored close together in the rear section. He suspects heat buildup inside the vehicle may have damaged the appliances and triggered the fire. After the incident, he contacted his insurance company to assess the damage.
