TRAT- Quickly before students returned to their college in the Bo Rai district, a fire broke out in the back compartment of a bus carrying them on a field trip.
The double-decker was being transported on Monday from Chumchon Wat Bor Ploy Ratrangsant School, according to Sawang Boonchuayluea Thammasathan Trat, a recovery charity system.
When the vehicle was less than 10 kilometers from the university, the fire broke out.
Methee Phosi, the bus’s driver, immediately stopped the car and opened all doors, including the emergency exits, allowing them to exit the vehicle quickly, according to the rescue group. Everyone aboard was sound and secure.
The bus’s back seat, according to the vehicle, had been the subject of complaints from students about the uncomfortable air before flames and smoke could be seen. He believed the flames had been brought on by a short-circuit in the air conditioning program.
One of two buses took Prathom 6 students from the school on a niche journey to Thammachat sea in Laem Ngob area.
After a vehicle carrying individuals from a university in Uthai Thai on a field trip was engulfed in flames in October last month, the Education Ministry demanded the safety of all vehicles, 20 of whom were students. For elementary school students, long-distance excursions are also against the law.
