Juru factory inferno sends up clouds of black smoke visible from George Town


BUKIT MERTAJAM: A towering inferno has erupted at the light industrial estate in Juru, sending thick plumes of black smoke spiraling ominously into the sky as fire crews raced against time to bring the blaze under control.

The fire, which broke out around 3.15pm Tuesday (July 15), rapidly engulfed two adjacent factory blocks used for processing hardware, one a 16-year-old structure, the other barely a year old, according to an on-site operator who watched helplessly as the flames consumed both buildings.
