Smoke flies high from the blaze that began with a snake today

Friday, October 30, 2015
PHUKET: Fire that destroyed a ceramic shop-house opposite the shooting range in Patak Road, southern Phuket, about 11.40am today is being blamed on a small green snake crawling into a transformer. Fire trucks from Rawai and Chalong took about an hour to douse the blaze.

Damage was being assessed. Nobody was injured.

Snakes alive! (Er, no...but they conduct electricity - Ed.)

Seems to me that something in Phuket electricity supply lines is not up to normal safety standards when a small green snake can be the cause of such destroying fire. Wonder or the owners of the shop house are insured, and or the insurance company now claim the damage with the electricity firm.
