Witness footage helps in Gok Kapur fire investigation

KOTA BHARU: Footage and witness statements at the Kampung Gok Kapur fire location are among the important clues in the investigation to identify the cause of the incident that destroyed 27 houses last Monday. Kelantan Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) director Farhan Sufyan Borhan said his department was examining all information obtained from residents and individuals who witnessed the incident to help complete the investigation. "We have taken several recordings from witnesses and individuals who were at the location when the incident occurred. All of this information is being examined to help identify the cause of the fire." "In addition, four samples were also taken from the incident location and were sent to the laboratory yesterday for analysis," he told Bernama today. Farhan Sufyan said laboratory analysis results were expected this week, thus helping his party confirm the cause of the fire which left dozens of families homeless. He said based on the fire pattern identified at the location, several hypotheses were being investigated, including the possibility that the fire was caused by a failure in the electrical system, cooking activities or playing with fire. "We are also not ruling out any other possibilities and all aspects are still under investigation. A decision can only be made after the laboratory analysis is complete," he said. Last Monday, 27 houses were destroyed in a fire in Kampung Gok Kapur, and the fire forensic team is still investigating the cause of the incident. -- BERNAMA
