A massive early morning fire destroyed 11 cars and 23 motorcycles at a car workshop in Kampung Jerang Belangga, Kota Sarang Semut, Kedah, today.
The blaze broke out at around 3.30am, reducing nearly 90% of the single-storey, Class B workshop to ashes.
The Kedah Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) said it received an emergency call at 3.30am before fire engines from Guar Cempedak, Pendang and Jalan Raja fire stations arrived at the scene about 20 minutes later.
Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control at 3.53am before carrying out inspection and overhaul operations to ensure no remaining embers could reignite the fire.
A total of 20 fire and rescue personnel took part in the operation, assisted by 10 members of the Volunteer Fire Brigade (PBS) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
No casualties were reported in the incident.
The cause of the fire and the total amount of losses are still under investigation.
