PORT DICKSON, Feb 21 (Bernama) — A family escaped in the nick of time from their burning house in Jalan Melor 10, Taman Jimah Jaya, near here, early this morning.
Port Dickson Fire and Rescue Station senior officer S. Maniam said the incident took place at 5.43am.
He said a fire engine with nine firemen rushed to the scene assisted by eight firemen and a fire engine from the Teluk Kemang Fire and Rescue Station.
“It is learnt that the family of seven were asleep during the incident. One of them roused the rest of the family after being woken up by a burning smell and increasing heat.
“They rushed out via the front door before fire engulfed the house. The fire was put under control in five minutes and doused an hour later. However, the house was totally destroyed,” he said when contacted by Bernama.
Meanwhile, the cause of fire and losses were still being investigated, he added.
