Pattaya City Hall donated 15 fire extinguishers to a Soi Buakhao housing development following a blaze there.
City Councilman Dilok Thongnak led city workers to Charoenrat Village Sept. 15, two days after a small fire caused by an electrical short. No one was injured.
Rather than buy extinguishers themselves, residents asked city hall for a handout and position fire-fighting equipment in several places in the village in case of a future fire.
City hall obliged and provided training to the neighborhood leaders who will train others.
