SAMUT SAKHON: A flames destroyed a plastic recycling shop in Krathum Baen area early Sunday morning, but there were no deaths.

According to Pol Lt Col Pairat Deerai, inspection inspector for Krathum Baen police station, the fire started at the Subsinee Industry Co. factory in tambon Tha Sao at around 6:45 a.m.

The flames, which entirely destroyed the stock on a single-raid plot of land, was contained by more than 15 fire trucks and their crew for almost an hour. The blaze also caused a number of opposite factories to be largely damaged. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Nearly 10 people were employed in the shop, according to Pol Lt Col Pairat, when the fire started. They attempted to contain the flames with flames extinguisher but failed. They fled the scene because the inflammable cheap was awaiting recycling and was rapidly spreading.

Police were looking into the cause of the fire. The damage’s calculated value was more than 10 million ringgit.

According to Samut Sakhon government Naris Niramaiwong, who was present at the scene, firefighters will proceed to spray water occasionally onto the broken factory to prevent the fire from igniting. He had ordered concerned authorities to determine the impact on people’s health and the atmosphere. &nbsp,
