About two hours ago, there was a hefty fire in a wooden house in Bang Rak near the Grand Sea pier.

The information I could gather is that there were people in the building but that nobody died, there may be one person in hospital, but that's not confirmed right now.

As the pictures show, the fire as intense and some very high flames were crawling up towards the sky.
The aftermath
The aftermath shows a completely burned out house where just a few stone pillars can be seen left standing with some very heavy wooden beams that show heavy burn marks.
Only rubble left
People were still pouring water on the smoldering ashes of the remains of the house. It seems that the wind helped the fire become very big but was also in a direction towards an empty lot of land. The other direction would have seen a few more wooden buildings and possibly more damage done.
Ash and silence
Hopefully there will be more information tomorrow and the confirmation that nobody was seriously injured.
