Spa fire in Koh Sirey under investigation

The Phuket City Police are still investigating a fire at a spa in Rassada on Saturday (May 5).

When Police arrived at the spa a sauna room on the first floor had already been badly damaged. Investigators found burn marks on electric wired and a circuit breaker. A small section ceiling of the ceiling had been partly destroyed. No injuries have been reported.

A staff member told police that at that time there were no customers inside the sauna room. Staff could smell something burning and ran toward the room to see what was going on. Staff saw that there was a fire in the ceiling of the room.

An electrician was called who broke into the ceiling cavity and used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.

Forensic police are continuing their investigation but believe it was faulty wiring or a short circuit at this stage.
