Factory blaze a wake-up callAs of press time yesterday, a massive blaze which began early yesterday morning at a plastic factory in Samut Prakan finally showed some sign of easing up. Authorities will need to do more than provide short-term medical treatment for rescue workers and those injured by the fire. After the explosion was reported around 3.10am yesterday, about 30 firetrucks from the local administration, aided by brave volunteer rescue workers, rushed to the scene. Volunteers in T-shirts ran the firefighting operation, so many rescue workers suffered skin irritation and breathing difficulties. And has the ministry and local administration prepared adequate safety protocols for local communities to follow to ensure their safety in the case of accidents?
