Rayong, Fire incident at a hazardous chemical waste storage factory in Rayong Province before the Prime Minister will go to the area to monitor the situation this afternoon. Officials from many sectors are still mobilizing to cool the factory area. Police forensics brought a four-legged robot to help detect heat signals.
Today is the 6th day of a fire at a hazardous chemical waste factory. It was found that the overall situation has greatly improved. To date, no outbreak of fire has been found. But officials still have to cool the areas where heat is found or hot spots using water and F500, especially the third warehouse that has aluminum dross from using heat-sensing drones to survey. It was still found that there were some places where the temperature was higher than 200 degrees Celsius, and smoke was also found coming up from the aluminum pile. Officers must use F-500. Go in and inject to reduce the temperature continuously. To keep the temperature below 100 degrees Celsius to prevent fires from erupting
. As for Warehouse 4 and Warehouse 5, most recently the fire was extinguished. Looking with the naked eye, there was no smoke rising up.
From inquiring with the operating staff, it is known that Today’s plan is to keep the temperature in the fire area at no more than 100 degrees Celsius, and today there will be a meeting to come up with a plan to separate the large pile of aluminum dos. To control and prevent fires from occurring again. After yesterday trying to experiment with lime. Seal over the pile of aluminum droplets in Warehouse 3. But it was not as effective as it should have been due to the high heat in the area. and the bottom has a high temperature It was melted by fire until it became a liquid. and collapse occurred Therefore, it cannot be sealed over the uncombustible aluminum drop pile. And it is important to consider the structure of the roof because at the third warehouse, the roof has now collapsed halfway and the remaining part has not yet collapsed because of scraps of aluminum boxes. Dodk
ham is still there. If the pile is moved incorrectly, the rest of the roof structure may collapse completely. It will make work even more difficult.
On the other hand, Lek Funden Jarayathanakorn, who led a team of heart-to-heart firefighters. Thai people do not abandon each other. Came in to help put out the fire at the warehouse for the second time since April 24th. Revealed that yesterday he went to spray water at Warehouse 5. Continued until 4:00 a.m., but the wind changed direction and smoke spread to the firefighting team, so it was temporarily stopped. And this morning, I came to continue spraying water to put out the fire. But when the water spray stops There was smoke and fire in spots. Which I thought should have ended last night but didn’t. The reason there is still smoke and ready to erupt at all times The relevant officials gave information that under the floor there are square holes, sizes ranging from 1 meter by 1 meter, many of which are reservoirs for storing corrosive chemicals that cannot b
e stored in tanks. In addition, the area below has many types of chemicals deposited together. And the main obstacle in extinguishing the fire is the delay in bringing water to extinguish the fire because the water source is far away.
As for the area of ??Nong Phawa Temple, Bang But Subdistrict, Ban Khai District, police officers examined the evidence. A 4-legged robot or ground-based drone named ‘Woranapa’ has been brought in to help with this firefighting operation. which will help detect heat signals In addition, medical teams from Ban Khai Hospital and Rayong Hospital set up mobile medical units to check on people’s health. and there are various agencies Come prepare and wait to welcome the Prime Minister. who will travel to the area to monitor the situation in the afternoon.
