At least 22 people were killed and 64 injured in Thailand Wednesday after a construction crane fell on a passenger train, officials said.

The crane struck a moving train in Nakhon Ratchasima province as it traveled from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani, causing the train to derail and catch fire, according to the province’s Public Relations Department.

The department said in a Facebook post that the fire was under control and that officials were searching for people believed to be trapped inside the train.

"Nineteen bodies have been recovered, but there are still some inside the train carriages that cannot be removed yet because the crane started shifting, so the team pulled back for fear of danger," said Police Col. Thatchapon Chinnawong, according to Reuters. 

Chinnawong added that those who were killed were in two of the three carriages struck by the crane.

Firefighters rescued a dog from a burning home in Canada on Saturday morning after the family pet accidentally started a fire by chewing on a battery-powered glove, authorities said.

Ottawa Fire Services said crews were dispatched just after 9 a.m. to a home in Orléans after a monitoring company reported an active fire alarm.

The homeowner, who was on the way to the house, confirmed through interior security cameras that a fire was burning inside. Several passing motorists also called 911 to report flames visible in the residence.

Firefighters arrived within four minutes and found heavy smoke and flames venting from a first-floor bay window. Crews launched an aggressive attack, knocking down flames that had breached the window before entering the home to continue extinguishment efforts.

Firefighters searched the house and found a dog, carrying it safely outside. The pet was not injured, and no people were inside at the time of the fire, officials said.

No injuries were reported, but one adult and one child were displaced, the department said.

Officials declared the fire under control at 9:23 a.m., about 10 minutes after crews arrived, preventing further spread. Two searches confirmed no people were inside.

An Ottawa Fire Services investigator determined the fire started after the family dog chewed on a heated skiing glove containing a lithium-ion battery. Security camera footage showed the dog pulling the glove onto a couch, damaging the battery, which then ignited.

Fire officials warned that lithium-ion batteries can pose serious fire risks if damaged and urged residents to store battery-powered items safely and keep them away from pets and children.
