On October 17, 2013, Mr. PaiboonUpattising, PPAO Chief Executive Officer, lead an emergency team to assess the aftermath of the fire at Supercheap Store on Thepkasattri road, TambonRassada, AmphoeMueang, Changwat Phuket. Since the fire broke out the night before (at 21.30 hrs, on October 16), PPAO officials have been working hard and participating in the emergency team were: Secretary of PPAO Chief Mr. WinitHongatikul, PPAO Council Members Mr. SomkitSuphap and Mr. ChusakSematrakul, PPAO Head of Engineering Department MrsWassanaSriwilai, PPAO Head of Public Safety and Environment Mr. ParinyaJariyahatthakit, PPAO Head of Machinery Department, Mr. ThanongUthsaya, PPAO Head of Construction and Repair Department, officers from PPAO Mechanics Department, officials from PPAO Tourist Support Department. Other officials from various government offices were there as well.
Mr. Paiboon revealed that as soon as the news reached PPAO, the office has sent emergency vans and water trucks to the site. The fire area was still off limit but from a rough assessment financial loss would be great. With regards to personal injuries, it would become clearer after forensic experts and insurance company have conducted investigations, after which PPAO will send in backhoes and heavy machinery to clear the area of debris.
Mr. Paiboon thanked Phuket provincial authorities for leading the assistance work. He also extended his thanks to Rassada Municipality, Tambon Administration Offices from every area, and local PPAO Council members, who all lent a hand since last night until the fire has been put out successfully. He also thanked the local people who donated food and water and who have given moral support. Thanks also went to provincial police who helped with directing traffic, to the Navy who brought in trucks and fire trucks, the Mechanics Department of PPAO who brought in all machinery. Finally, he thanked other sectors involved whom he thought were truly committed in their attempts to quell this emergency.
Mr. SomkitSupharp and Mr. ChusakSematrakul, both PPAO Council members, said that they were proud to see all government offices like the local administration offices, and especially PPAO, all participated in this emergency assistance. The fire, they said, would affect Phuket community in general as Supercheap serviced many sectors such as business operators and consumers and nearby communities. PPAO always takes the interest of the public seriously and that was why it deployed all machinery available to help put out the fire. The assistance would continue, they said. As to the damages, financial loss would be great although initially at least no injuries or dead were reported. Further investigations would be conducted by offices concerned.
