3 children killed as fire sweeps 3 villages in Sabah
The state fire and rescue department says more than 200 houses were destroyed in the early morning fire.
In a horrific incident in Sabah, three young children lost their lives in a devastating fire that engulfed over 200 houses across three villages. The victims, identified as 4-year-old Nana Abdullah, 6-year-old Asrul Abdullah, and 8-year-old Nurfarahdilah Tajihah, succumbed to the flames early today. The Sabah fire and rescue department, which dispatched a total of 39 personnel from Kota Kinabalu, Lintas, and Penampang fire stations, confirmed the tragic outcome.
The fire, which originated in non-permanent stilt houses in squatter settlements in Kampung Lok Buta, Kampung Lok Poring, and Kampung Sabang Lama, managed to be contained, preventing further spread. Although the exact number of houses affected and the current status of the victims are still under verification, the department assured that updates would be provided periodically.
