(Kuching, 15th) A disaster for the innocent! A double-storey semi-detached house that had been vacant for some time suddenly caught fire without any apparent reason. The blaze spread to the neighboring home, forcing a family of five to flee in panic.
The fire broke out around 8pm last night on Satok Road.
Firefighters battling the flames.It is understood that the owner of the vacant semi-detached house only returns occasionally to check on it and does not live there. The cause of last night's fire remains unknown.
Ms. Lin, the female owner of the affected neighboring home, said in an interview that they heard something falling and only discovered the fire next door when they went outside to check. The fire had already spread to their own house.
"In our panic to escape, we could only focus on grabbing important documents and moving some items outside. So, we are still unclear about the extent of our losses."
Although firefighters from Batu Lintang and Taman Dalat stations responded quickly to help extinguish the fire, the flames were too great. Unfortunately, the vacant house that first caught fire was 100% destroyed, while the neighboring house suffered damage to about 50%.
