KUCHING: Swift action by a homeowner and his neighbours prevented a bedroom fire from razing a two-storey terraced house at Taman Riverview yesterday (Aug 24).
The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) upon being alerted to the fire at 7.58 pm by houseowner Lee Chin Fung, promptly despatched a team from the Tabuan Jaya fire station to the scene.
Nevertheless, Lee and his neighbours had taken proactive action to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher and water by the time the firefighters arrived.
The bedroom was about 30 per cent damaged.
