GEORGE TOWN, Aug 16 (Bernama) — Seven motorcycles parked at the parking area of Desa Bayan Apartment, Jalan Merbah at Bayan Lepas, near here, were destroyed in a fire, early this morning.
Penang Fire and Rescue Department officer Kassim Ahmad said, they received a telephone call at 3.26 am and two minutes later the first fire engine arrived at the scene.
“When we arrived at the location, the flame was big and we were able to control the blaze in 20 minutes from spreading to other spots at the parking lots,” he said when contacted by Bernama here, Sunday.
He said four motorcycles were totally destroyed, while another three were 20 per cent damaged.
Kassim said the cause of the fire and total losses were still being investigated.
Meanwhile, Barat Daya District police chief Supt Lai Fah Hin said they had received a report on the incident and the losses caused by the incident estimated to be more than RM20,000.
He said police did not rule out that the incident was due to arson, but further investigation was still on-going.
