Key Quotes

Mr. Oum

"The shop is a car painting and body repair center. During the incident, it was lunchtime, and no workers were inside the shop. A staff member then ran to inform that a fire had broken out on the roof, which had PU foam insulation for heat resistance. When the fire started, burning embers fell onto the cars below and spread rapidly."

อู่ดังกล่าวเป็นศูนย์ทำสีและซ่อมตัวถังรถยนต์ โดยช่วงเกิดเหตุเป็นเวลาพักเที่ยง ไม่มีคนงานอยู่ภายในอู่ ก่อนจะมีพนักงานวิ่งมาแจ้งว่าเกิดไฟลุกไหม้บริเวณหลังคา ซึ่งมีฉนวนพียูโฟมกันความร้อน ทำให้เมื่อเกิดไฟไหม้ ลูกไฟหยดลงใส่รถยนต์ด้านล่าง และลุกลามอย่างรวดเร็ว
