Can Atirut Warns of House Fire Caused by Headlamp

Thai celebrity and television host Can Atirut Kittiwatthanakorn has taken to his personal Instagram account @canatirut to share a terrifying household accident, serving as a serious cautionary tale for the public. The host posted a video clip explaining that his family's kitchen area must be temporarily closed following a sudden fire incident at his parents' residence.

In the video clip, Can Atirut detailed the alarming incident, revealing footage captured by security cameras inside the house to warn his followers. The fire caused severe damage to a sofa, an air conditioning unit, and various household items, leaving walls and ceilings completely blackened by thick soot from the smoke.

The root cause of the blaze was traced back to a rechargeable headlamp that his father regularly used. The device had been plugged into an electrical outlet near the television before short-circuiting and exploding, sending burning sparks directly onto the nearby sofa, which acted as highly flammable fuel. Fortunately, his parents were not far away, conducting chores outside the main house area, allowing them to eventually notice the smoke and smell before rushing in to tackle the flames.

"ตอนแรกเนี่ยเราชาร์จไว้ตรงแถวๆ ทีวีใช่ไหมครับ หลังจากนั้นพอมันลัดวงจรแล้วก็ระเบิดเนี่ย มันก็ตกมาใส่ตรงโซฟาพอดี คือปกติเนี่ยเวลาคุณพ่อชาร์จพวกนี้ไว้เนี่ย แกก็ไม่ได้ออกไปไหนนอกบ้านไกลๆ นะฮะ"

Miraculously, no one was injured in the incident as his father managed to put out the fire before it escalated into a catastrophic disaster. However, the aftermath left the entire lower level covered in heavy black soot, damaging both the structure and key pieces of furniture.
