KAJANG: A family of six had no time to save their belongings as a
fire broke out right after a blackout on Wednesday night at their home
here in Taman Puncak Utama.
In the incident at 10pm at the family's two-storey terrace house, the couple and their four children were having dinner downstairs.
When suddenly the electricity went out, the father went to check upstairs only to find that a fire had broke out.
District Fire and Rescue station chief Mohd Safiq Mohd Noor said the station's operation personnel received the distress call at 10.07pm.
"With help from the Serdang station, there were 19 personnel altogether that was involved in the fire-fighting operation,"They arrived at the scene at 10.23pm,” Safiq said.
He added that the six victims got out safely although the blaze had started to invade the house's first floor minutes before the firemen arrived.
"Although we managed to douse the fire in 20 minutes, the house's second floor was completely burnt,
"It was believed that a short-circuit in one of the rooms upstairs was the cause," he said.
