A fire gutted an export-furniture factory in eastern Rayong province early Friday. No injuries or deaths were reported.
The blaze broke out at a rubber wood factory of V-Chat Co, a subsidiary of East Coast Furniture Plc Co, in Wang Chan district, said police.
Three fire trucks were sent to the scene. Spreading flames sent panicked workers racing out from the factory. Fire fighters took more than three hours to put out the fire. Damage has yet to be estimated.
According to police investigation, workers heard a loud bang coming out from a roof ventilator at a painting room before it was engulfed in flames. The fire quickly spread to rubber-wood furniture in the factory.
Police believe an electric short circuit might have caused the fire.
