THE underground coal fire incident at Bukit Nanas in Batu Arang, Selangor will be referred to the Gombak District Natural Disaster Committee for the next course of action.

Selayang municipal councillor Zaidy Abu Talib, who visited the site yesterday, said the attempt by the Fire and Rescue Department crew in digging the ground to locate the point of fire and dousing it with water was just a temporary solution.
