PETALING JAYA: The inferno which dominated the skyline in Putra Heights is ebbing as the remaining gas in the burst pipeline clears.
The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department said the flames, which were 20 storeys high at one point, had gotten small enough to approach by firemen around 2.45pm.
A total of 78 Fire and Rescue Department personnel members have been fighting to put out the fire caused by a gas pipeline leak in Putra Heights, Puchong since early Tuesday (April 1) morning.
