According to Khaosod Online, the residence belongs to a soldier currently stationed in the southern border provinces, with a couple residing there as caretakers.

Witnesses reported smelling smoke while washing dishes, followed by an explosion in a bedroom that shattered window glass. The occupants managed to escape and alerted neighbors for assistance. Firefighters from the Si Khieu Municipality, led by Mayor Preecha Chanthuangthong, arrived at the scene and successfully brought the blaze under control within 15 minutes.

Authorities currently suspect that a short-circuited fan plug in the bedroom was the source of the ignition. Official investigations are ongoing to confirm the exact cause of the fire and to assess the full extent of the damage. No injuries were reported in the incident.
