webfact Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Alarm bells ring over rubber plantation fire By The Nation A huge fire ravaged a 400-rai rubber plantation in Chacheongsao province and also raised worries of adding to Bangkok’s air-pollution woes. The fire in Sanam Chai Khet district began at around 10pm on Saturday night and as of 11.30am on Sunday had still not been fully put out.
