Late night fire damages Buriram college dormitory and fertiliser storage

A late-night fire at the student dormitory of Buriram Agricultural and Technology College caused significant damage to a bedroom and fertiliser storage facility. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The preliminary investigation suggests that the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit due to old, faulty wiring.

In the early hours of today, the Buriram Sawang Charity Rescue Centre received a distress call reporting a fire within the campus of the Buriram Agricultural and Technology College. The centre responded by dispatching a fire-fighting unit, volunteer rescue workers, and three fire engines from the Buriram Municipality. Officers from the Buriram City Police Station also attended the scene to assess and contain the situation.

Upon arrival, they found the student dormitory engulfed in flames, which had begun to spread to a nearby fertiliser storage facility. The rescue workers and municipal fire-fighting officials collaborated to extinguish the fire, a process that took approximately one hour. Once the fire was under control, it was discovered that one of the student dormitory rooms had been completely destroyed, and a portion of the fertiliser storage facility had been damaged.

Luckily, no students were present in the dormitory at the time of the incident, and no injuries were reported. The extent of the damage is currently being evaluated, and a report will be submitted to the relevant authorities in due course.

The initial inference points towards an electrical short circuit as the likely cause of the fire, possibly due to deteriorated wiring. A detailed investigation will be carried out to confirm the exact cause of the incident.
