A fire that was ignited by a young boy is thought to have started the fire that destroyed a big business in the Krathum Baen area on Monday evening.

The Yi Jab public business, a one-rai small building on Setthakit Road in tambon Tha Mai, was completely destroyed by the fire.

A student lit a fire right in front of the store on Monday, according to witnesses, around 8pm. Instead of exploding in the sky, it exploded inside the container, causing burning dust to engulf the area.

New Year’s lights were on sale near the front of the store when the blast caused a significant blaze.

Fires that immediately engulfed the whole building started when the shop’s blasts started. Consumers, employees and surveillance volunteers fled for their life. Thankfully, there were no deaths. &nbsp,

Narit Niramaiwong, chancellor of Samut Sakhon, claimed the store had no authorization to market fireworks. Initial injury was thought to be 5 million baht. &nbsp, &nbsp,
