The fire swept through the two shops at Ban Nong Khon in tambon Wang Nok Aen about 3.30am. About 10 fire engines from Wang Nok Aen, Kaen Sopha and Nam Chun tambon administration organisations took around three hours to put out the flames, which were fed by highly inflammable materials such as car tyres, paint and thinner. Both shops were completedly destroyed, but fire fighters prevented the blaze spreading to nearby houses.
