72 year old jumps for her life from the second floor during home inferno
An elderly woman has suffered head injuries whilst escaping a blaze that burned down her home in Chiang Mai.
The fire broke out at a two-storey teak house on Ban Pae road in Tambon Tha Sala of Chiang Mai’s Muang district.
Five fire engines took an hour to get the blaze under control after it swept through the entire timber house. The fire also destroyed three vehicles parked in the grounds of the house.
The deputy mayor of Chiang Mai says the house owner, 72 year old Boonnak Thanhikorn, suffered head injuries after she jumped from the second floor to get away from the flames as they engulfed the house.
Police are investigating the cause of the blaze.
