Four factories destroyed in morning blaze at Puchong industrial park

In the early hours of today, a devastating fire tore through four factories at Jalan TPP 5/15 in Taman Perindustrian Puchong, Selangor. The blaze, which ravaged nearly 90 percent of the structures, did not claim any lives. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department's Ashrul Riezal Asbar reported that the emergency call was received at 6:34 am, and the first fire engine was dispatched at 6:45 am.

Upon their arrival, firefighters found flames engulfing a furniture factory, which subsequently spread to three other factories - a tyre factory, a pipe and valve hardware factory, and an engineering factory. These four factories, spread over a total area of approximately 80 by 100 feet (24 by 30 metres), are now entirely destroyed.

Ashrul disclosed that the firefighting efforts successfully contained the blaze around 8:30 am, and as of 9:30 am, crews were actively working to extinguish any remaining embers on the roofs and inside the factories. Due to the ongoing threat of roof and structural collapses, the operation remains vigilant. The incident was coordinated by the Puchong fire station, with assistance from stations in Subang Jaya, Jalan Penchala, Petaling Jaya, Seri Kembangan, and Cyberjaya.

A total of 33 officers and firefighters, along with five Fire Rescue Tender engines, two Emergency Medical Rescue Services units, an Aerial Ladder Platform, two water tankers, and two utility vehicles, were deployed to the scene.
