A fire broke out in an "oil tanker truck" at a gas station near a school zone in Kranuan District, Khon Kaen Province. Authorities are currently rushing to contain the fire.
It was reported that the Facebook pageFire & Rescue Thailandposted that at 10:00 AM on 2 February 2026 GMT+7, a fire occurred inside a gas station in Kranuan District, Khon Kaen. Initially, the fire involved an oil tanker truck.
After receiving the report, officials quickly coordinated with nearby rescue units and fire trucks to urgently control the situation. Explosions were heard intermittently at the scene, prompting authorities to cordon off the surrounding area to prevent danger and ensure public safety.
