School's historical building went up in smoke

Old school block destroyed by fire







Fire broke out at the SMK Kuching High here around 1pm which started at the junior lab of the secondary school.

The wooden structure built in 1974 was engulfed in flames which quickly spread to the school's administration block cum library built in the early 1930s.

No one was injured in the incident at the time when some senior year students are sitting for their examinations while the rest are on school holiday break.

The fire caught the public's attention particularly students and teachers as well as former students who rushed to the fire scene.

As the school is located on top of a hill at Jalan Mathies, black smoke could be seen for miles.
