SHOWS: Video obtained by Reuters showed a Thai singer performing in a Bangkok pub on Sunday (July 12) before her band said she was killed in a deadly fire that engulfed the venue.

The blaze – one of Thailand’s worst in recent history – has killed 27 people and injured dozens, officials said on Monday (July 13), with police investigating possible negligence including obstructed emergency exits as people scrambled to flee the burning venue.

Reuters verified the footage from pub interiors which matched those seen in an earlier edit and other archive imagery.

"Most of the time, the door that people think of is the front entrance and the door isn't wide enough for people to be scrambling out. It's narrow and people had to fight their way out."

"The fire was not that aggressive, but the smoke had engulfed one hundred percent of the venue. The smoke was everywhere. Now there is usually a point where the fire ignited which would have accumulated gas - we call this gas ignition - where the heat travelled and burnt everything, which is what we saw happen in the beginning."

Rescuers were seen searching for survivors through the ash-covered interior of the pub. (7423-THAILAND-FIRE/RESCUERS)
