According to Thai News Agency, at 1:00 PM today, the Rama 199 radio center received a report of a fire at an oil storage tank in Soi Happy Place 7, Chaokhun Thahan Road, Khlong Sam Prawet Subdistrict, Lat Krabang District.

The incident occurred in a large open area used for storing oil tanks. A fire was found engulfing a large oil storage tank located far from residential areas. It took firefighters over 20 minutes to bring the fire under control.
Initial investigations revealed that the fire involved several palm oil storage tanks, both 6,000-liter and 200-liter sizes, some empty and some containing oil. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities. One tank was damaged by the fire, covering an area of approximately 25 square meters. Firefighters used water and foam to extinguish the blaze.
