MUKAH: An evening inferno destroyed a wooden house in Kampung Sungai Alo, Jalan Pantai last night.
The 7.25pm incident made a family of 12 homeless.
Fortunately, all of them managed to get out safely without sustaining any injuries.
A spokesman for the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) said firemen from the Mukah fire station were deployed to the scene, about 8km from the station, following a distress call.
By the time the firemen arrived at the scene, the fire was at its height. All they do was to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby houses.
The cause of the fire and losses incurred have yet to be ascertained.
