Bangkok: A fire erupted at a large transformer within the Saen Saep Substation located in the Din Daeng area, leading to a power outage on Rama 9 Road. The incident caused significant disruption and chaos in the region. Authorities have managed to control the fire and are currently conducting an investigation into the cause. Commuters have been advised to avoid the affected route.
According to Thai News Agency, the fire broke out at 8:21 p.m. today, behind a well-known shopping mall. The situation prompted multiple Facebook users to report the incident online, describing the power outage and urging people to steer clear of the area.
Emergency response teams acted promptly by spraying water to prevent the fire from spreading further. They coordinated with the Electricity Authority to ensure the high-voltage power lines were safely cut off, which allowed them to bring the flames under control. The authorities are now focused on determining the cause of the fire and assessing the extent of the damage.
