limbo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 100 students escape as big fire burns down boarding house Published on Jan 29 , 2006 The Nation A boarding house for female university students in Bangkok's Bang Kapi district was burnt down in a big fire, sending some 100 tenants to flee for their life, police said. Five students were injured from inhaling smokes and no one was killed in the big fire which engulfed the four-story building on Soi Ramkhamhaeng 57 at 9:30 pm Saturday night. Some 20 fire engines took about four hours to control blaze from spreading to other buildings, but by that time the fire had apparently consumed the building. Police said the fire started on the second floor and quickly spread to other floors as the owner of the buildings had modified the building as boarding house by installing wood walls to make many more rooms for tenants. Most of the tenants are students of the Ramkhamhaeng University . Several tenants said they fled by climbing to a nearby building from a rooftop before the fire reached the top.

khunsanuk Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi, "and quickly spread to other floors as the owner of the buildings had modified the building as boarding house by installing wood walls to make many more rooms for tenants." So, once again greed almost killed people Kind of poetic justice to see that the greed of the owner now has lost him the building. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
