JOHOR BARU: The second day of the new school year almost proved disastrous for a high performance school here after a room caught fire in the morning.
The fire is believed to have started just as students were about to enter the school for the morning session.
Johor Baru Fire and Rescue station chief Ahmad Nazran Omar said the department received a distress call about the incident at Sekolah Kebangsaan Bandar Baru Uda at 7.34am on Tuesday (Jan 2).
“We immediately deployed two fire engines with 15 firemen to the school after receiving the report.
Ahmad Nazran added that the fire occurred at a computer laboratory located at the first floor of a three-storey building.
“The room is the office area of the computer lab and only 10 percent of it was damaged due to the fire.
“No one was injured during the incident,” he said, adding that the department was investigating the cause of incident and the estimated cost.
Johor schools began their new school year on Monday (Jan 1).
