At least three dead after fire inside shopping mall in Bangkok, seven others injured
The extent of the fire at Bangkok's Central World complex, which includes a hotel and an office tower, was small, but it caused the mall's evacuation, which was still going on at least an hour after the fire began.
Bangkok Gov. AssawinKwanmuang confirmed to reporters at the scene that three people died, one at the scene and two at a hospital. He said at least seven other people were injured. Assawin said the fire began in a document storage room on the eighth floor of one of the high-rise buildings that is part of the complex.
The fire broke out during the congested city's evening rush hour. Sirens from emergency vehicles wailed as they tried to make their way through gridlocked traffic.
