A major fire gutted a garbage dump in Takhian Tia for many hours last night, as we first reported on our social media channels.
Firefighters were notified of the incident on Friday night (March 31st) at the waste pit located near Village Number 3 in Takhian Tia. Firefighters with more than 10 fire engines and The Pattaya News swiftly arrived at the scene. The garbage area is surrounded by a cassava plantation.
It took many hours until the fire was brought under control. The massive blaze was about two kilometers from a residential area.
Locals from Village Number Three told the Pattaya News that the area turned into a large pit for more than 20 years and a variety of garbage is dumped there.
The cause of the fire is unclear and was still under investigation by relevant fire authorities as of press time.
There were no injuries from the blaze, however, smoke engulfed the nearby village and brought immediate concern from residents, several of whom contacted The Pattaya News to report the inferno.
