A fire ripped through wasteland filled with discarded power lines in Thailand, this morning.

Seven fire trucks raced to the scene of the inferno which started on dried grassland in Pattaya shortly after 11 am local time.

Aerial footage shows a thick plume of black smoke rising into the sky. It could be seen from several miles away on the beach.

Site caretaker Kanchit Wowan, 50, blamed locals for dumping trash and burning it. He said a small fire then quickly spread when the electricity power cables ignited.

Officials said it took an hour to bring the blaze under control as efforts were hampered by a strong wind.
