The aftermath of the fire in Kampung Bako today.

KUCHING: A morning fire has devoured a single-storey house in Kampung Bako and rendered a family of four homeless this morning.

At the time of the incident, the family members, aged between three and 26, were not present at home.

Firemen from Tabuan Jaya and Petra Jaya stations were promptly despatched to the scene after receiving a distress call around 9.45am.

However, by the time they arrived, the house was beyond saving and they only performed the extinguishing deed.

The locals along with Bako Indah auxiliary firemen had taken early action to put out the fire before the teams arrived.

However the fire still managed to burn the wooden house to the ground.

The flames were brought under control around 10.25am and it was completely extinguished around 11.45am.

The cause of the fire and losses incurred is still under investigation.
