IPOH, March 13 (Bernama) — Ten occupants lost most of their possessions when fire destroyed three single-storey terrace houses at Jalan Regat Wing Onn, Taman Wing Onn here, today.
Ipoh Fire and Rescue station chief P. Samasuvam, who led the fire-fighting operation, said the fire occurred when most of the occupants were at home.
He said the fire spread fast but the 28 firemen from the Meru and Ipoh fire stations managed to bring it under control within 20 minutes.
“The fire started from the house in the middle, occupied by a man in his 70s, and spread to the other houses,” he said.
The man was not at home then, he added.
