LAMPHUN — Two major fires broke out within 30 minutes of each other in Lamphun's Muang district on Saturday night, damaging a rice warehouse, several pickup trucks and a wooden building, authorities said.
The first fire was reported at about 9:00 PM on May 24 in the San Mueang area of Muang Nga subdistrict, near a cluster of restaurants and old wooden buildings. Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control by 9:30 PM.
A second fire erupted around 9:30 PM at the warehouse of Pool Panich Lamphun Limited Partnership on Charoenrat Road in Nai Mueang subdistrict. The fire spread rapidly through the warehouse, which stored rice and other goods, prompting authorities to mobilise firefighting teams from across Muang district.
Firefighters spent more than one hour spraying water to contain the blaze before bringing it under control at about 10:50 PM. Several pickup trucks were destroyed in the fire, and the warehouse sustained heavy damage.
Authorities said both fires had been extinguished and no deaths were reported. The cause of the fires and the total cost of the damage remain under investigation by forensic police.
