  "account": "IPOH, September 20 — A tragic fire at a two-story terraced house in Tambun, Perak, claimed the lives of an elderly couple and their 18-year-old grandson, while a 47-year-old man survived. The Perak Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) received a call at 4 am and dispatched teams from the Tambun and Ipoh Fire and Rescue Stations to the scene. Director Datuk Sayani Saidon confirmed the identities of the deceased victims as Raja Ahmad Raja Ali, 70, Zaitun Mohamed, 64, and Nik Abdurrahman Azimin Harith Helal, 18. The fourth victim, Raja Ikhwan Hadi Raja Ahmad, 47, was found alive and believed to have been sleeping in the house’s parking area. The fire caused significant damage, affecting approximately 70 percent of the 20 by 70 feet house. Upon arrival, fire and rescue vehicles found the victims in various locations within the house - the 70-year-old male victim in the bathroom on the ground floor, while the other two victims were found on the upper floor, one in a bathroom and another in a bedroom near a window. Six individuals resided in the house, but only four were present when the incident occurred. The fire was completely extinguished by 8 am, and the victims were handed over to the police for further investigation.",
