A fire on Jan. 29 injured two people and heavily damaged a factory owned by industrial lubricant manufacturer Zereclor Corp. in the Khao Yoi District of Thailand’s Phetchaburi Province, according to local media reports. Local authorities said the fire occurred when factory workers were filling lubricant containers using a hose from a large tank, and product overflowed and contacted a nearby light switch. This caused sparks and spread a fire throughout the factory that took firefighters more than three hours to bring under control, the reports indicated.
