A fire has totally destroyed a wooden house and storage area in Wichit yesterday. The estimate value of damages is around 300,000 baht.
Wichit Police were notified of the fire in Soi Thep Anusorn in Wichit at 2pm yesterday.

In front of the house was a storage room where wooden materials had been kept. This had also caught fire.
