MIRI, May 15 (Bernama) — Over 100 residents were made homeless after the 18-door Champing Longhouse in Batu 20, Jalan Bintulu-Miri, was destroyed in an early morning fire Sunday.
Officer-in-charge of the Bintulu fire and rescue station DiHata Gobel said they received the distress call at 1.34 am and arrived at the scene, which is 32km away from the fire station, at 2.10 am.

The fire was the second this week after the first on May 11 involving 200 residents of a Asmidy Agau Longhouse.
