13 killed in Thailand night club fire

At least thirteen people were killed and 35 injured in a fire broke out at a night club in Chonburi province of Thailand on Friday.

The fire started at the Mountain B night club in the Sattahip district at about 1:00 a.m.

All the victims are Thai nationals.

Video footage posted by the rescue service showed desperate revellers fleeing the club screaming, their clothes ablaze, as a huge fire rages in the background.

The service said the blaze was accelerated by flammable acoustic foam on the walls of the club, and it took firefighters more than three hours to bring it under control.

The dead -- four women and nine men -- were found mostly crowded by the entrance and in the bathroom, their bodies severely burned, the service said.
