Fire razes part of Pulau Burung landfill in Penang, bulldozer destroyed

 

NIBONG TEBAL: A fire broke out at the Pulau Burung landfill and destroyed more than 900sq m (about 10,000sq ft) of the area on Monday (Feb 15) morning.

A Penang Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said the department had received a distress call about the blaze at around 3.45am.

"Thirteen firefighters, a fire engine and an Emergency Medical Rescue Services vehicle from Nibong Tebal fire station were deployed and arrived at the scene 14mins later," the spokesman said in a statement.

He said the fire also destroyed a bulldozer at the landfill, which is located on a hilltop.

The spokesman said the firefighters created a fire break to prevent the blaze from spreading to other sections of the landfill before bringing it under control.

He said they manage to successfully contain the fire at about 5.15am although firefighters were still working to extinguish it in the late morning.

Voluntary firefighters from Jawi, Sungai Jai, Nibong Tebal, Parit Buntar and Valdor also assisted in the operation.

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

No casualties were reported. - Star
