Fire at Bang Rak Robinson
Updated: 2013-08-16-01:00
A fire broke out yesterday morning at Bangkok’s Bang Rak branch of Robinson shopping mall, causing workers to flee and black smoke to also enter the Centre Point Hotel next door. The department store has been under renovation since early this month.
No deaths or injuries were reported except for a hotel maid who fainted after inhaling smoke.
The fire, which broke out at 10am, was reportedly sparked in a main circuit box on the first floor. It took some 40 fire-trucks and firefighters up to 20 minutes to get the blaze under control. The hotel was evacuated as a precaution.
