A fire that began with a car blaze spread to four homes in Nonthaburi, causing significant damage. Yesterday, June 18, police from Bang Sri Muang district were alerted to the fire in a housing estate on Bang Lane Soi 21, Mueang district.

Upon receiving the report, they coordinated with fire engines from Bang Krang municipality, Tha Phra municipality, and nearby areas to control the fire at the two-storey townhouse.

The fire originated from a car and an electric motorcycle parked in the garage, quickly spreading to the house and three adjacent homes, leading to damage to four homes in total. Firefighters used water and chemicals to extinguish the blaze, which took over 30 minutes to control.
