Damansara, Sunday 7 Nov at about 9:00am a small fire starts in a car workshop. |
|
The blaze spreads rapidly through the closely packed wooden buildings. |
Residents hurry to move personal possessions into the street. |
|
. |
. |
|
The fire brigade (Bomba) arrive promptly. |
. |
|
|
. |
.
But working with hopelessly inadequate equipment, and not enough of that, |
. |
the blaze rages out of control for 30 minutes. |
Consuming everything in its path. |
|
These already poor people often escape with just the clothes they are wearing. |

Residents use a leak in a fire hose to assist the over stretched firemen. . |
 |
|
 |
After only 1 hour all that remains is a pile of smoking, junk. |
