Fire sparked by lightning destroys roof of apartment block

JOHOR BARU: Thirty-six families were left homeless in Taman Desa Mutiara here 
after the roof of their apartment block was destroyed in a fire which was 
sparked by lightning.

Resident Rosdi Rahman, 43, blamed the fire on thieves who stole the earth wire 
from their building several weeks ago.

“Their irresponsible act has now caused many of us to lose our belongings,” he 
said, adding that the fire was first noticed by his 17-year-old son who was 
outside the block.

Rosdi said he heard the sound of thunder before his son started yelling for 
people to get out as there was a fire.

“When I came out of my flat, I noticed the flames and quickly knocked on all 
the doors of my neighbours to warn them,” he said, adding that more than 400 
people reside in the block.

Another resident, Baidanah Awang, 45, said that her unit was on the top floor 
of the building.

“When I looked out, I saw families rushing down the staircase and I quickly 
grabbed my children and fled,” she said.

Johor Baru Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Raja Saiful Iswandi 
Raja Hassan said that the department received a distress call at 2.58pm and 
deployed seven fire engines from stations in Johor Baru, Johor Jaya and Pasir 
Gudang with 29 firemen.

“We managed to put out the fire in two hours but we are still investigating its 
cause as well as the damage incurred,” he said, adding that strong winds and 
the asbestos roofing caused the fire to spread very quickly.

No one was injured during the incident but the roofs of 36 units were totally 
razed.

State Secretary Obet Tawil, who was at the scene, said that arrangements had 
been made to provide temporary shelter, food, clothes and other necessities to 
the 180 people affected.

“The victims will be placed at the Dewan Bukit Mutiara,” he said.
