EORGE TOWN, May 29 (Bernama) — A fire destroyed a shophouse in Solok York here early today, leaving homeless a family of seven operating a laundry service.
The family lost about RM200,000 in the 1 am blaze which also destroyed two washing machines, two motorcycles and customers’ clothes, said a family member, S. Dhayalan, 23.
He said his father’s shouts woke him up and he found the fire spreading fast.
“All our important documents were lost in the fire. We just managed to save ourselves,” he told reporters.
Jalan Perak Fire & Rescue Station chief Yamin Tekor said the station was summoned at 1.04 am and rushed 21 firemen in four trucks to the scene.
