  "account": "Early this morning, a fire devastated approximately 200 homes built on water in three villages, namely Kampung Lok Buta, Kampung Lok Poring, and Kampung Sabang Lama, in Kinabalu City. Two individuals, who were siblings and their relatives, lost their lives in the blaze. The head of the Bomb and Rescue Department (BBP) in Kinabalu City, Hannis Moktar, reported that two victims were found by the rescue team while attempting to extinguish the fire, while the search for one more victim continued.\n\nThe fire reportedly affected houses in all three villages, located within an area of approximately 79m x 116m, as per Berita Harian. Rescue operations, including searching for victims and other tasks, are still ongoing, with the identities and statuses of the three victims being investigated. The emergency call was received at 1.40 am this morning, and a total of 44 members from BBP Kinabalu, Lintas, Penampang, and Tuaran, along with assistance from the police and Sabah Electricity, were involved in the operation.\n\nThe fire was successfully controlled by 6.26 am, preventing it from spreading to nearby areas.
