On August 13, a devastating fire at a three-storey shophouse in Port Klang claimed the lives of a 66-year-old man and his eight-year-old nephew. Two others suffered breathing difficulties due to the blaze. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) was alerted at 5:51 PM about the emergency, discovering that roughly 90% of the second floor of the Class A building measuring 20 x 70 square feet was engulfed in flames.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the two victims trapped in separate toilets around 6:33 PM. They were later pronounced dead by the Ministry of Health before their bodies were handed over to the Royal Malaysia Police's forensics unit at 10:15 PM. The JBPM forensics team, alongside the JBPM K9 Unit, initiated an investigation before transferring the scene to the JBPM fire forensics team for further examination.
The rescue operation, involving 18 personnel from the Port Klang and Andalas Fire and Rescue Stations, concluded at 10:05 PM.
