KUCHING, May 2: A warehouse storing bathroom fittings and accessories near Jalan Bintawa was gutted by fire this morning.
The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) Tabuan Jaya received the emergency call at 9.29am and promptly dispatched a team of 20 firefighters to the scene.
According to initial reports, approximately 80 per cent of the single-storey warehouse was destroyed in the blaze.
Firefighters encountered difficulties extinguishing the flames inside the building due to structural instability, including visible cracks in the walls.
It took nearly an hour to bring the fire under control, with firefighters employing both defensive and offensive strategies using five nozzles and water from nearby hydrants and the fire truck’s water tanks.
As of press time, an overhaul operation is ongoing to ensure there are no remaining sources of ignition.
Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported in the incident. — DayakDaily
