Firefighters used water and foam to battle a large car‑repair shop fire on Bang Na-Trat Road in Bangplee, where more than twenty vehicles were damaged. At 21:30 on 18 Oct 2026, the Bangplee Yai Subdistrict fire crew responded, together with Ruamkatanyu Foundation volunteers. The facility, linked to an insurance company, is a big single‑story warehouse housing many makes of cars awaiting repair. Flames were seen in the paint‑shop section before rapidly spreading to the interior vehicles, with occasional blasts heard. Backup fire engines and Ruamkatanyu rescue teams — approximately ten units — arrived to spray water and foam. After about an hour the fire was contained and extinguished. Initial reports indicate at least twenty cars were harmed, mainly private sedans brought for insurance claims. The shop was closed, with no employees present; a passerby spotted the fire and alerted officials. Bang Kaew Police officers have examined the site, gathered evidence, and taken witness statements, pending further forensic investigation.
