SHAH ALAM, Sept 17 — Four factories suffered extensive damage, with almost 90 per cent of their structures destroyed, in a major fire at Jalan TPP 5/15, Taman Perindustrian Puchong, early this morning.
The fire, which broke out at about 6.30am, did not result in any casualties.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) assistant director of operations Ashrul Riezal Asbar said the department received an emergency call at 6.34am before fire and rescue personnel were dispatched to the scene.
He said firefighters from the Puchong Fire and Rescue Station arrived at 6.45am and found the fire raging through and destroying a furniture factory.
“Further inspection found that the fire had spread to three adjoining premises, namely a tyre factory, a plumbing hardware and valve factory, and an engineering factory.
“All four premises were estimated to be 90 per cent destroyed,” he said in a statement today.
Riezal said the fire was completely brought under control about two hours after firefighters arrived at the scene.
