Pol Capt Panyapol Boonsri, a deputy inspector of Bang Pu Police Station, said the fire started at 6.30am at Thai M Recycle in Tambon Bang Pu in Samut Prakan&rsquo;s Muang district. 
He said fire engines took nearly two hours to control the blaze. 
The fire destroyed a pile of used plastics comprising vehicle parts and recycled plastic pellets and three plastic pellet machines as well as the entire building. 
Panyapol said the fire was apparently caused by short-circuit following heavy rains.
