Several social media users just brought this in! An apartment in Kampung Kerinchi/Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur is seen engulfed in flames minutes ago. Seen in the images, the top most floor of the apartment block is on fire.
The building has been identified as ‘Flat PKNS’ which has 17 floors.
Other sources said that the Fire Department was having trouble to get to the scene due to a heavy downpour which caused massive traffic across Kuala Lumpur.
[UPDATE] At the time of update, it was said that 6 units in the 17 storey apartment was destroyed in the fire. However, no loss of lives were reported. It is said that the fire department from Pantai, Seputeh, Hang Tuah, TTDI, Sentul, Tun Razak, Hartamas and Gombak Selatan were involved in putting out the fire.
More to come.
