The fire that occurred on the 17th floor of Block 70 in the Sri Sabah Flats , Cheras last Sunday is believed to have originated from electrical wiring issues, said Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department director Muhammad Salleh Abdul. He said the initial investigation found that the fire started in unit number three, subsequently denying claims that it was caused by fireworks.
“Our forensic investigation indicates a 90 per cent likelihood that the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the distribution board (DB). We are verifying this as the main cause through technical testing. “Meaning, it started there and spread to units two through six,” he told a press conference at the temporary evacuation centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Cheras here today. In the incident, five residential units on the highest floor of Block 70 were destroyed in the fire, with no fatalities reported.
