A bungalow in Kampong Anggerek Desa, occupied by five permanent residents, was destroyed in a fire yesterday.
Sixteen Fire and Rescue Department (FRD) personnel from the Berakas Fire Station rushed to the scene, assisted by personnel from the Women’s Operations Unit Fire Station and Beribi Fire Station. They were led by Station Officer Norhermi bin Md Nor.
Firefighters acted in two teams by wearing respirators and extinguished the fire using three streams of hoses within 10 minutes.
The owner of the house is a local, who rented the house to the permanent residents with Malaysian citizenship.
All victims escaped safely before the firefighters arrived. Causes of fire and estimation of losses are under investigation. No casualties were reported.
