The Long Spray's long house was destroyed in a fire

MARUDI, Sept. 19: A ten-door house in the village of Long Jekitan, Ulu Baram was reportedly completely destroyed in a fire today.

According to the Centre for Operational Movements (PGO) of Malaysian Department of Bombs and Rescuers (JBPM) Sarawak, it received information about the incident via Marudi Bombs and Rescue Hall (BBP) at 2.50 pm.

The fire is believed to have involved the entire structure of the long house.

"According to preliminary information, the fire involved the entire structure of the tall house and estimated total destruction", according to the statement.

BBP Marudi also notified the incident to the Marudi Police Headquarters for further action.

However, the remote location distance and access via a paved road resulted in travel to the scene estimated to take up to eight hours.

As a result of the discussions, BBP Marudi's operations team will be moving to the scene tomorrow for further information and appropriate action.

Operation was led by PBK I Nassir Razali with a five-member force using a CFRT engine.
