A disabled man and his two dogs died when fire swept through three Chonburi houses.
The body of Suriya Eimsawad, 52, was found in the bathroom of his Soi Thipsatan home following the Sept. 21 blaze. Two dogs chained up inside the house, unable to escape, also died.
Seven fire trucks from Muang and surrounding districts responded to the fire, which spread to two adjacent houses on the narrow soi in Bang Plasoi Subdistrict. Firefighters spent an hour knocking down the flames.
Muang District Chief Sukon Suwannasaksin said the narrowness of the street, compounded by cars parked on both sides of the street, blocked access by fire trucks, Gusty winds helped spread the fire to adjacent structures.
