Rayong, Villagers in distress Fire at industrial chemical warehouse in Rayong Province calls for help from factories I can't say a bottle of water. It's now the 3rd day of a fire at an industrial chemical storage warehouse in Rayong Province. Even though there have been round-the-clock operations, we still haven't been able to extinguish the fire. Last night (April 23), officials successfully used a backhoe to scoop sand and dirt into the fire to extinguish it and prevent the smoke from spreading out. But there is still Warehouse 5, which is a warehouse building for storing contaminated oil chemicals, that cannot be put out. Today (April 24) throughout the day they will work to extinguish the fire in Warehouse 5. The plan is to use a backhoe to scoop out thousands of chemical barrels that are stacked in the warehouse. This was an obstacle and a problem in extinguishing the fire of the officials this time. Then it will be sprayed with foam at various points. At this time, we have requested foam support from the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate. Come support in the fire extinguishing operation in the said warehouse. From periodic surveys Damage to the warehouse that burned this time It was found that a total of 3 chemical warehouses had been burnt down, namely Warehouse 3, 4, and Warehouse 5.
