More details here:- Fire at Ben Mansion Soi VC South Pattaya In the first few minutes of 4th September we were informed that a fire had occurred at Ben Mansion located in Soi VC, South Pattaya so reporters quickly hurried over. On arrival we found a lot of firefighters and the police doing their work. We saw many Thai and foreign tourists trying to get out of the 4 storey building escaping from all the smoke and we started questioning around for more details. The fire occurred in Room 301 on the third floor, which was rented out to Mrs. Roilya Rakhmanova, aged 30, from Uzbekistan. Luckily at the time of this occurrence she was not inside. The firefighters were eventually able to put out the fire, which took them approximately 30 minutes, and then we went up with the police to make an inspection. The fire started from an electrical fault with the air-conditioning, which then spread to the refrigerator, onto the closet and everything else in the room. The approximate damage is at around 200,000 Baht. http://www.pattayapeople.com/default.asp?F...;IdArticle=7340 Quote
Guest wowpow Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 posted by Oogleman on TingTong: From the nation: ( photos and video at the link below) http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/09/05...es_30047798.php Fire that broke out at the Mandarin Hotel on Rama IV Road early Tuesday morning has been put under control at about 8am. Some 16 tourists were injured from inhaling smoke from the blaze. Initial police investigation found that the blaze started from the seven-storey hotel's second floor where a fitness room is located. Firefighters and rescue teams found difficulties in rescuing hundreds of tourists as the fire spread to other floors due to narrow fire exits. Helicopters that rushed to the hotel helplessly flied over the hotel because the hotel which had two connected building had no landing area. As the fire spread to other floors, many tourists were trapped inside the building. Many tourists were seen trying to jump from the tenth and eleventh floors. Firefighters had to calm them down and rushed rescue team to evacuate them down to the floor. The hotel consists of two building - the first seven-storey building and the other 14 storey building. There are 372 rooms in total. The fire fighters checked room by room to make sure that there was no tourists trapped inside the rooms. The fire damaged the building and the links between the building on the 7th and 8th floor were collapsed, making it difficult for rescue staff. Many tourists said that the hotel's water sprinkles did not work when the fire broke out.was not equipped with water sprinkles to distinguish the blaze _________________ Both bad incidents but happily no fatalities. I hear from a member of the committee of my condo block that there is a swathe of new laws about to be implemented for fore safety in Hotels and Condos. I was about to say that the Nation's spelling was better than ear wig's ( I know I'm a spelling snob - more so since I have spillchuck ) but then I read "not equipped with water sprinkles to distinguish the blaze" _________________ Quote
