Man killed in Phitsanulok house fire
A man was killed when a fire spread from a garbage pile he was burning to his make-shift house in Phitsanulok on Monday night, police said.
Police said Pit Wangsri, 57, was killed when the fire burned down his one-storey wooden house in Ban None Sawang village in Tambon Ban Klang, Wang Thong district at 9.20pm.
