The blaze broke out at 3.46am and involved two separate premises owned by different individuals, said Ashrul Riezal Asbar, assistant director of the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department’s operations division. Firefighters from Ampang Fire Station arrived three minutes after the emergency call and found both shops already heavily ablaze.
“Commanders on scene reported the fire affected a mamak eatery and a general goods storage facility, each destroyed by about 80%,” Ashrul said in a statement.
Eighteen firefighters fought the flames with help from Pandan Indah, Keramat and Hang Tuah stations plus the Bandar Mahkota Cheras volunteer brigade. They used six 200-foot hoses with five nozzles drawing from hydrants and water tankers.
The fire was brought under control at 4.42am, fully extinguished and the scene handed back by 8.30am. No casualties were reported.
