IPOH, October 16 - A deadly fire struck two adjacent double-storey houses in Kampung Koh, near Sitiawan, claiming the lives of two teenage sisters, aged 15 and 18. The Perak Fire and Rescue Department received an emergency call at 9.01am, and rescue personnel along with the Pantai Remis Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived at the scene by 9.10am.
They discovered the blaze had engulfed both structures almost entirely, trapping the sisters inside. The inferno also reduced four vehicles and a motorcycle to ashes.

The tragic victims were handed over to the police and transferred to Teluk Intan Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
