At roughly one forty-three in the morning, firefighters in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah were called to a two-story house in Kampung Darau due to a reported fire. The fire was brought under control approximately twenty-seven minutes later, at two ten in the morning. Upon arriving on the scene, the fire and rescue department discovered the remains of three individuals who had succumbed to their injuries, as reported by Berita Harian.

According to a local neighbor, Nurul initially managed to extricate herself from the burning building, but tragically returned inside the house in an attempt to rescue her grandmother and uncle.
