Firefighters and local residents worked together to contain the blaze, which spread across approximately 6 rai, 7 ngan at Khao Kluay, in Baan Pak Pli, before being brought under control.
The Thepkrasattri Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) first reported the fire, which started as a grass fire.
Due to difficult terrain, water trucks could not access the area, so officials from the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Division at Thepkrasattri OrBorTor led efforts to suppress the flames.
Thepkrasattri OrBorTor Chief Sitthichai Chantawat coordinated the response with support from Thalang District officials, the Phuket Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office (DDPM Phuket) and several other agencies, including the Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command and the Phuket Forest Fire Control Station.
Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat ordered an aerial survey to assess the fire’s spread, while Srisoonthorn Municipality deployed drones for further inspection, said an official report of the response.
After approximately four hours, firefighters successfully extinguished the fire. No injuries or fatalities were reported.
Officials are continuing to monitor the affected area and investigate the cause of the fire.
