A total of 18 fire engines rushed to the scene: six from Wichit Municipality, six from Phuket City Municipality, three from Kathu, two from Rassada and one from the Phuket Provincial Administration Organization. Phuket City Police, Kusoldharm Foundation workers and Phuket Governor Wichai Phraisa-ngop also raced to the scene. The last of the flames were finally extinguished just before 10pm.

The wooden warehouse structure, however, remained intact. Police are now investigating the cause of the blaze.
