Blazing crumb rubber pile in Teluk Panglima Garang expected to burn for two days

A PILE of crumb rubber which caught fire on Saturday (June 26) in Jalan Pulau Carey, Teluk Panglima Garang, is still belching plumes of black smoke despite efforts from firefighters who have been stationed at the scene for the last 24 hours.

Firefighters from the Teluk Panglima Garang and KLIA Fire and Rescue stations who arrived at the scene at 4.12pm on Saturday cited difficulties such as the absence of fire hydrants and pile height as contributing reasons.
