MIRI: A sedan car was badly damaged after it somehow caught fire while parked at a house in Desa Senadin, here early yesterday.

The Fire and Rescue Department dispatched a team from its Lopeng station following a distress call at 3.46am. Firemen were told by the house owner upon arrival that he had managed to douse the flames on his own.

“The fire involved a sedan car, whose engine compartment and windshield were burnt. Damage to the vehicle was estimated around 40 per cent,” said Miri Bomba chief Law Poh Kiong.

“The fire was successfully extinguished by the owner and Bomba personnel made sure the situation was safe prior to departing the scene.” No one was injured during the incident.
