On 28th of September 2008, Sunday, I was at the fire scene witness the process of putting out the fire.. Many people was there to see but not to help.. I might be one of them but I dare to say that I did give out my helping hand on the spot other than just standing there and watch what's happening.. My brother and another friend was there with me after the meeting when we are actually on our way to Prangin Mall for window shopping..Im sorry for not putting this up on blog after the incident because my pc were not in a good condition before this.. So I hope that my photos is enough to tell what had happened..
Before this, tell u guys some information which I got..
The row of two-storey shophouses comprises a nasi kandar shop, two tailor shops, a card printing shop, a bicycle shop, an electronic gadgets shop, two communication appliances shops and a spectacles shop...
Top Floors of nine shophouses in Jalan Gurdwara, Georgetown was damaged, seven fire-engines, 61 firemen not including the 36 voluntary firefighters were there to put out the fire.. The fire started around 2.45pm.. Fire spread so fast in a shortwhile were assume caused by the wind condition and the roof of the shophouses which is combine together.. The Firefighters took around two hours to put out the fire due to the weather condition and some other reasons such as the two large business signboards that hampered efforts by firemen to put out the fire.. The firemen brought the fire under control within 15 minutes...
Everything were ended around 4.50pm..
Further investigation will be done to know that what had actually caused the fire.. The fire was believed to started at the back part of a tailor shop and communication appliances and CD shop. Fortunately, nobody was reported dead or injured due to the fire..
What brought us to the scene - People!
Between this few shophouses are where the fire began...
Here is another incident happened on the spot.. This particular RAT is actually very pity because we believed that this rat has been burned by the fire.. It in time to ran out near the side of the road before the fire getting worse (this is just our conjecture) ... But very unfortunately, an uncle accidentally stepped on the rat when he is trying to cross from another side of the road to this side, which is nearer to the rat..
Guess what happened next...?!
The rat bitten the uncle's toe and it starts bleeding! Fresh blood were coming out from the wound very quickly as u really can't imagine how it happens.. It's all in a sudden..! But luckily, there are still kind hearted people which is willing to help the uncle stopped the blood and cleant the wound in time before it might be infected by bacteria or any other diseases...
One of the victims which may be a doctor or pharmacist helped to clean the wound.. Other than that she used tobacco from cigarette to put on the wound so that it could killed some germs..(photo above)
Penang's Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng was there with his assistants to have a look at 3.35pm and gave out some comments.. He said he saw smoke coming out from the shophouses from his office at 28th floor in Komtar and he was surprised to see that the fire had spread so fast..
State Local Government, Traffic Management and Environment Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said they were worried that the extra large signborad not only effect the beauty of heritage building, the firemen encountered problem too while breaking the windows to put out the fire..
State Health, Welfare and Caring Society Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh who was also at the scene too.. He said that shopping malls or shophouses should always ensure that there is nothing blocking the fire exits.. (This photo below might look like they are arguing but they are not..) The Committee chairman is trying to get more informations from one of the shop owners..
This is special! When we are about to leave the scene, we found these "super bikes"..! It's cool wey.. just look at the first bike to the third bike.. are u amaze by them? perhaps u r not but it's great anyway.. u know, they are useful at sometimes when the fire-engines doesn't need to be there.. LOL!
See! even the firefighter is amaze by it! XD
