Fire brigade says RM300,000 damage caused after houses burst into flames.
The Fire and Rescue Department said one aircraft crashed at 1.30 pm in Bukit Permandangan Indah, Padang Mat Sirat, and the other at 2.10pm in Kampung Gelam, Kedawang.
Fire and Rescue operations assistant director Nazri Zakaria said six fire engines and a total of 60 firemen were involved in putting out the fires.
“Losses involving the two houses amounted to about RM300,000,” he said.
Kampung Gelam houseowner, Zulkeflee Abu Mutalib, 46, said he had just returned form work and was repairing his child’s bicycle outside when he heard a loud explosion. “Suddenly the roof of the house was on fire,” he said.
Zulkeflee, who works at a hotel, said the fire engulfed the rear of his house and the kitchen of his brother’s house, located behind.
His brother, Mohd Rashidi Abu Mutalib, 40, was not at home, but learned that his car was damaged while his motorcycle was burnt. “I thank my neighbours who had taken out household items to safety but the motorcycle was badly burnt,” he said.
