Couple and 30 cats die in Nonthaburi housefire
NONTHABURI - A couple and about 30 pet cats died in a house fire in the early hours of Monday and rescuers later found a charcoal stove and petrol container in the bedroom.
A couple and approximately 30 of their pet cats perished in a house fire early Monday morning in Nonthaburi, Thailand. Emergency responders arrived at the scene around 12:10 AM in response to reports of a blaze at a luxurious estate on Ratchaphruek-Nonthaburi 1 Road in Tambon Bang Si Muang of Muang district. The fire rapidly engulfed the second floor of the two-story, 320-square-meter residence.
Upon arrival, firefighters battled the blaze using four fire engines, while rescuers discovered a charcoal stove and a petrol container in the deceased couple's bedroom. Two of the couple's cats were successfully resuscitated through cardiopulmonary resuscitation by rescuers and are now recovering. The identities of the deceased couple, a man and a woman, have not been confirmed, but they were severely burned and found dead on a bed, along with remnants of the petrol container.
A neighbor reported hearing a loud noise earlier in the day, which may have been the source of the fire. The investigation into the exact cause of the fire is ongoing.
