CHIANG RAI -At a press conference on Friday, experts from the Council of Engineers and the Building Safety Inspectors and Officers Association recommended that dormitories and schools install smoke alarms to prevent any fatalities caused by fire.

Building Safety Officers said that fire detectors could have warned and possibly saved the children in the disastrous fire that killed 17 girls of Pitakkiat Witthaya School last month.
