00:00The massive fire in Putra Heights on Tuesday left many residents living in the affected
00:07area in shock.
00:08It's a surreal experience, you know, it's still Raya and my mum was supposed to go to
00:14Perak today.
00:15Now it got delayed because of the fire.
00:16I think around 8am I got woken up by my mum to, you know, some explosion because I woke
00:25up and then I opened the door, everyone was running out and, you know, in panic I had
00:31to get my mum out first.
00:32And then I actually left this cat.
00:35But then I had the opportunity to come back thanks to the fire force and now I'm waiting
00:41for my brother-in-law to pick me up.
00:42Actually I was from the grave and then my brother, I was on the way back home and then
00:48my brother called me.
00:49He said that the house was on fire.
00:50So I was like, I went straight home and saw that it was really bad.
00:51From the highway I could see the flames.
01:00The fire which broke out at 8.10am at Jalan Putra Harmony involved a leak in a gas pipeline,
01:06approximately 500 metres long.
01:10Victims suffering from minor injuries were taken to the Sri Maha Kalyaman Temple in Subang
01:14Jaya to receive treatment from health ministry personnel.
01:18The Fire and Rescue Department reported that six people have been hospitalised at Cyber
01:23Jaya and Serdang hospitals for treatment.
01:26Meanwhile, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Sri Amiruddin Shari announced that the Selangor
01:31Disaster Unit had opened a temporary evacuation centre and is working with the Fire and Rescue
01:37Department to assist the victims.
01:40Amiruddin said the State Health Department is on standby to transport the victims to
01:45nearby hospitals for treatment.
01:47Firefighters are still battling the fire due to lingering gas remnant.
