BARIO: A Health Clinic at Long Seridan near here was destroyed by fire around 1.30pm yesterday. 

The fire spread so fast that the whole building was destroyed within minutes.

As the fire happened during lunch break all the clinic staffers were in their quarters opposite the clinic.

According to an officer in charge of the clinic, Assistant Medical Officer, Bryan Ak Musa, who contacted the Miri Division Health Office there was no human casualty.

The clinic staffers were unable to save anything from the burning building.

The fire destroyed only the clinic and did not spread to the staff quarters nearby.

Marudi Medical Officer, Dr Neilson Richard Seling after receiving news of the fire immediately contacted Marudi Fire Station.

The cause and losses incurred in the fire have yet to be ascertained.

A team from Marudi District Health office and State Health Department will be sent to the scene to evaluate the situation and to render assistance to the clinic staffers including finding a place as a temporary ‘clinic’.
