TWO houses on Jalan Raja Uda in Kampung Baru in Kuala Lumpur have been destroyed by fire.

A spokesman of the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department operations centre said 13 firemen in two fire rescue tender (FRT) engines, a light FRT, a water tanker and an emergency medical rescue services vehicle were dispatched to the scene after they received an emergency call at 12.08am today.

The firemen were from the Titiwangsa, Jalan Hang Tuah and Jalan Tun Razak fire stations.

“When firemen arrived at the scene, two ‘non-permanent’ houses were already engulfed in flames with about 100% destruction.

“However, there were no casualties and the cause of the fire is still being investigated,” he said in a statement. – Bernama, July 23, 2023.
