綜合泰媒報導,從現場畫面可見,大火的火勢十分猛烈,衝天的火舌將漆黑的夜空映得一片通紅,現場還不時傳出爆炸聲,讓人見了怵目驚心。兇猛的大火燒毀了市場內大部分由木頭築起的店家,只留下屋頂和柱子,將現場燒成一片廢墟。

報導稱,這起火災的起火點是從一間木造廁所開始的。有市場攤販指出,他們在晚間7點結束工作時,突然發現木造廁所有火花閃現,接著火勢就迅速變大,急速吞噬市場。許多攤販試圖從火海中搶救貨物,但由於火勢實在太猛烈,因此他們只能在消防員的指揮下趕快撤離。

消防當局在事發當下立即派出了20多輛消防車到現場灌救,但由於水上市場的房屋結構主要由木材建造且有強風多雨,因此當局很難控制火勢。據悉,有一些市場員工為了逃命,甚至跳到了市場周圍的運河中,但當局表示,火災沒有造成嚴重的傷亡,只是有人受到輕傷。

大火隨後在晚間10時30分左右受到控制,但當局仍在現場持續灌水,以免火焰再次燃起。報導稱,芭達雅水上市場成立於2008年,是當地著名的河邊景點,展示了美麗的古老泰國河邊生活社區和正宗的生活方式。
