Police and paramilitary rangers escorted forensic officials to Sa Kaew's Rong Kleu Market yesterday to determine the costs and assess damages caused by the fire on Monday night.
Police first suspected that the fire, which ruined some five shops, might have resulted from a short circuit at a grocery store. Initial damage was estimated to be at least Bt5 million.
The Thesabal 3 market’s “Lock D” building, which was hit the hardest, has been sealed off for investigation and to prevent people from stealing undamaged goods.
Maj-General Suriya Paoree, the Army commander for Sa Kaew province, along with Aranyaprathet Municipality mayor Kornchai Thanasrikul, have set up a temporary centre to help the victims to register for assistance.
