KUALA LUMPUR: An electrical short-circuit was believed to be the cause of a fire at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR) in Jalan Pahang here yesterday morning.
The fire was said to have started at 10.30am from a research laboratory storeroom on the second floor of a block at the institute.
Federal Territory Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Azizan Ismail said no one was injured.
A member of the staff who noticed smoke billowing out of the unit alerted the department's headquarters in Jalan Maharajalela here.
"Seventy-two firemen in 12 fire engines from the Chow Kit, Sentul, Pudu and Selayang fire and rescue stations went to the scene," he said.
"Because of the chemicals in the laboratory, the firemen used foam instead of water to put out the blaze by 3.30pm. The affected second floor was closed for restoration and repair works."
Azizan said damage to the laboratory was largely internal.
p/s: hope u all can "ambek cakna" this thing as Pak Nasa always told us about IMR
