SHAH ALAM, July 4 — The Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) has confirmed the Shah Alam PKNS Complex is safe after a fire broke out at the premises yesterday afternoon.
PKNS said it acted swiftly to ensure the safety of visitors, tenants and employees, with a preliminary inspection by the facility management team revealing the fire could have originated from the Air Cooled Package Unit (ACPU) panel located inside the Air Handling Unit (AHU) room on the first floor.
“The incident resulted in the temporary shutdown of the electricity supply and air-conditioning system in the affected area as a precaution.
“Following the incident, the complex management activated its emergency procedures by ordering the evacuation of Phase 1 of the building through the public address system,” PKNS said in a statement yesterday.
It also said the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) managed to quickly contain the fire and prevented it from spreading.
JBPM is investigating the cause of the fire, PKNS added.
Yesterday, Selangor JBPM assistant director (operations) Ashrul Riezal Asbar confirmed the fire at PKNS Complex had been contained and that no casualties were reported.
