House fire at Jalan Datu Ratna Kiarong






A fire occurred recently (1 May 2012, Tuesday) around 4pm at a semi wood and brick house rented by foreigners Jalan Datu Ratna, Kiarong. The fire caused minor traffic congestion at the Kiarong and the nearby Kiulap roundabout as the fire occurred when office workers are busy heading back to home.

A team of firefighters in two fire engines from Beribi Fire Station rushed to the scene after receiving emergency call around 4:20pm. They managed to extinguish the fire few minutes later. The fire not only fully burnt the house but causing damage to several vehicle parked near the house. Present to the scene were senior officers from the Brunei Fire and Rescue Department (BFRD) Operation A command, BFRD fire prevention unit, Royal Brunei Police Force JSKLL personnel and Department of Electrical Services (DES). 

The fire is suspected to be caused by the short circuit due to the faulty electrical wiring.
