A MIDNIGHT fire that razed four shops in the capital on Friday night has resulted in estimated damage of over $300,000. Quick work from the authorities saw the blaze successfully put out after a 40-minute battle.
Responding to an emergency call received at midnight, 31 fire fighters from four different fire stations were able to limit the devastation to four shophouses. A report from the authorities estimate the damage to approximately $315,000 in total. The fire destroyed two shops of tailors and two convenience stores.
The destruction spread quickly as the entire structure consumed by fire was made entirely out of wood and zinc roofing. Fire and Rescue Department is yet to release the cause of the fire. The Brunei Times
