The fire started at a building where a seafood-frying station is located. Samut Sakhon Governor Prapas Malakarn was at the scene to oversee the firefighting operation himself. Despite 20 fire trucks and a continuous effort to douse the inferno, the flames were difficult to control because of cooking oil and foam containers that were kept inside the building.
The damage has been estimated at more than 200 million baht.
The company is said to be one of the major seafood exporters in Thailand.
