Early morning blaze guts first floor of Kuching retail chain, no injuries reported

A fire erupted in a retail chain near Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce in Kuching early Saturday morning, destroying the first floor and severely damaging the second. The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department, or Bomba, responded to the call at around 3:42am and managed to control the blaze by 5:18am. Firefighters were aided by a water tanker from the Tabuan Jaya fire station due to low water pressure from the hydrant. No injuries were reported, and as of 7am, firefighters remained on the scene to fully extinguish the fire.
