Along the Thap Nang Canal at about 5:05 p.m. on Saturday, May 27, 2023, when the incident occurred, there was a slight wind blowing slightly to the north of the accident scene. The burning area is approximately 20×50 meters, assessing the cause from the site and the evidence after the fire has calmed down. Burning battery debris and the smell of sulfur were found at the scene. After the fire has subsided, the company has surveyed the incident area and used a gas analyzer to measure the gas generated from the fire. It was found that there was no gas that exceeded the specified standard. So, it can be concluded that the main cause of this fire It’s the same cause that often happens with waste landfill. The burning of the waste is caused by the combustible explosion of various battery devices that are mixed with municipal waste. That was brought into the landfill.

Mr. Abinash Majhi, CEO of Eastern Energy Plus Group (EEP Group), said that the problem of electronic waste and hazardous waste. That was discarded with other types of municipal waste always causing fire incidents in the community landfill area. If it is a landfill area that is legally operated and operates according to academic principles in all dimensions. It is often able to control the situation to calm down in no time. But the waste dumping area is not legally and does not have 24-hour surveillance. When a fire occurs in the garbage dump, it takes a long time. Until the fire control agency is able to control the situation to calm down. He saw that the fire problem at the community waste landfill could be reduced steadily. If people do not throw electronic waste mixed with other types of waste. He has now ordered Samut Prakan Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. (SRE), a subsidiary of the Eastern Energy Plus Group Co., Ltd. (EEP Group). ) tried to distribute 25,000 red garbage bags to all households in Khlong Bang Pla Kod Subdistrict Administrative Organization and Pak Nam Samut Prakan Municipality areas which is the waste collection service area of SRE Company. To pilot a campaign for people to separate waste from the source and garbage collection trucks of SRE will separate the red bag of garbage and put it in the red sack next to the car in order to separate, deliver, dispose of, not mix with other waste. Mr. Abinash Majhi added that EEP Group has a firm belief that If people in every household join together to separate waste before discarding according to the 3Rs principle, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle seriously. All problems arising from the collective disposal of municipal waste. Whether it is a problem of wet waste, fresh waste, which is food waste, spoiled, rotten, and emitting a foul odor as a source of germs. The problem of electronic waste and hazardous waste explodes and ignites due to the accumulation of heat, which causes fires in landfills. The problem of toxins that may seep from rainwater to the ground and flow into public water sources will be reduced and finally gone until it finally runs out. The city and community environment will be clean, beautiful, and people will have a better quality of life. He therefore would like to invite all sectors to pay attention to a comprehensive solution to community waste problems. Both origins are households, in the middle of the way is garbage collection, and the destination is to properly dispose of each type of waste according to academic principles.
