Totally hapless to fight the flames
The fire overview before the complete burnout
A primary school in Sebuyau was reduced to ashes late Monday afternoon when fire swept through its entire wooden structure, destroying hundreds of thousands of ringgit worth of property and leaving 156 pupils without classes.
The fire was believed to be caused by a short circuit at a Primary 2 classroom on the upper floor of the main block, was first spotted by the school's security guard who immediately alerted the school's senior assistant and acting headmaster.
No casualties were reported in the 5.45pm blaze at Sekolah Kebangsaan Tebelu where it destroyed the headmaster's room, staff room, computer and science labs, classrooms as well as a host of school equipment and RM10,000 in cash.
Villagers who happened to be playing football at the school's field also help fight the rapidly-spreading fire using available fire extinguishers and water from the school's water tanks, nearby pipes and drains.
Local Fire and Rescue Services Department reached the scene shortly followed by a second team from Simunjan roughly an hour later.
By that time however, the entire school was totally razed and fire fighters managed to put out the flames around 8.50pm.
