13 killed, 40 injured in massive Thailand nightclub blaze
It took more than three hours to douse the fire.

At least 13 people were killed in a major fire that broke out at a nightclub in Thailand early on Friday. Officials said nearly 40 people were also injured in the incident. The fire broke out around 1:00 am (1800 GMT) at the Mountain B nightspot in Thailand's Sattahip district which is around 150 kilometers south of Bangkok, a rescue official told AFP.

The Sawang Rojanathammasathan Rescue Foundation's social media footage of the tragedy showed anguish and chaotic scenes at the location. Desperate revelers were heard shouting as their garments were on fire as they fled the club. According to the fire department, the blaze was fueled by flammable acoustic foam on the club's walls, and it took firemen more than three hours to extinguish it.

According to the agency, the bodies of the victims β€” four women and nine menβ€” were charred and largely clustered near the door and in the restroom. All of the victims are thought to be locals.

In 2009, a major flame erupted at a New Year's Eve party at Bangkok's posh Santika club, killing 67 people and injuring over 200. The proprietor of Santika was sentenced to three years in prison for the fire. In 2012, four individuals died in a fire triggered by an electrical failure at a club on the tourist island of Phuket.
