A devastating fire at a three-story shophouse in Port Klang claimed the lives of a 66-year-old man and his eight-year-old nephew, while two others were hospitalized due to breathing difficulties. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) received an emergency call at 5:51 PM and discovered that 90% of the second floor of the Class A building, measuring 20 x 70 square feet, was engulfed in flames.

The two survivors were rescued by civilians and taken to Klang Hospital for treatment. The JBPM forensics team and K9 Unit conducted an initial investigation and handed over the scene to the JBPM fire forensics team for further examination.
