Plastic waste fire smothers village in acrid smoke
by Prasit Tangprasert
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation officials are investigating to determine the cause of the fire.
The fire broke out at around 3pm on Wednesday at the abandoned plastic waste factory in Ban Don Ree in Tambon Don Chomphu where hundreds of tonnes of plastic waste were ignited.
Over 10 fire engines responded to the factory, which was abandoned nearly a decade ago as the previous owner reportedly faced a bankruptcy lawsuit and the property was passed onto a bank.
