#AceBreakingNews – Fire breaks out in Thai nightclub, reportedly killing at least 13 and injuring dozens

Video circulating on social media shows people fleeing the pub and thick black smoke billowing from the door before the entrance is engulfed in flames.

Several people’s clothing was on fire as they emerged from the pub.

Rescue workers said more than three dozen people were injured.

The cause of the fire at the Mountain B pub in the Sattahip district of Chonburi province, about 160 kilometres south-east of Bangkok, is under investigation, provincial police chief Major General Atthasit Kijjahan told television station PPTV.

He said the pub’s owner and staff were giving statements at the police station and the police forensic team would collect evidence at the scene.

Police said the fire was reported at about 12:45am on Friday.

Several witnesses described seeing smoke and fire on the ceiling near the venue’s stage followed by the sound of explosions.

“The fire started at the top right corner of the stage,” a witness identified only as Nana told PPTV.

“The singer must have seen it too, so he shouted ‘fire’ and threw away the microphone.

“I am quite shocked. But I am lucky that when I saw the fire, I could get myself together and get out of there,” she said, adding that she saw several pub security guards with their clothing on fire.

A waitress at the venue, Thanyapat Sornsuwanhiran, also told Thai television reporters that she saw smoke near the stage.

“I shouted ‘fire’ to the customers, and I was near the doors, so I directed them out,” she said. 

“I kept shouting ‘fire, fire’ and the security guards were also helping lead people out.”

The police chief said the club had three entrances: at the front, on the side for unloading goods, and at the back.

Thai public television station TPBS reported that the back door was often locked.

A DJ at the pub who did not identify himself told PPTV the fire spread quickly.

He said he heard the sound of an explosion and shattering windows.

The pub was lined with flammable soundproofing, and it took two hours for firefighters to put out the blaze, Manop Theprith of a private emergency services group, told the television station.

His group said 40 people were injured.

One of Thailand’s deadliest fires in recent decades was at a nightclub in the capital, Bangkok, during a 2008-2009 New Year’s Eve celebration, when 66 people were killed and more than 200 were injured.

That blaze at the Santika nightclub also began on the ceiling above a stage, apparently sparked by an indoors fireworks display.

Toxic smoke flooded the venue as the entire club caught fire.
