Fire on Sukhumvit Soi 24



For any of the ex-Bangkok people who are interested in this story, here is the link to the Bangkok Post.       

There is a bit of film footage on that site, which shows the rolling fire.

Chris, it was the 18/19th floor.  Weren't you the  20th floor?

Five people were taken to hospital and a cat was rescued from the 21st floor.
They used water from the swimming pool much as I had posited yesterday.

Scarily, the fire warning and sprinkler system failed to operate.  This is a luxury apartment block, what hope is there for the rest of our fire warning systems, if the ones in a luxury apartment block don't work?

This is the scene this morning.

Again, Chris we are all glad you no longer live there.
