SHAH ALAM, Aug 25 — A late-night fire destroyed 37 cars and seven motorcycles at a workshop in Seksyen 24 here yesterday.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) operations assistant director Ahmad Mukhlis Mukhtar said they received an emergency call at 11.31pm.

A total of 21 firefighters, with three fire engines and a water tanker from the Shah Alam and Jelutong stations, were deployed to the scene.

On arrival, they found a workshop, converted from a 50-by-100-square-foot building, already 90 per cent engulfed in flames.

“No one was trapped inside. However, a worker suffered burns to his hands while attempting to move a vehicle. He is in stable condition and was taken to hospital by family members,” Ahmad Mukhlis said in a statement today.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. — Bernama
