Pa Khlok fire fighters, disaster response team and a host of other officials and rescue services arrived to find the warehouse, an isolated building, in full blaze.

Officers soon had the fire, which appeared to have originated near the electrical circuit breakers in the building, under control.

Firefighters reported one person suffering burns from the fire. The person was rushed to Thalang Hospital. The extent of injury was not reported.
