PUTRAJAYA: The bushfire in Salak Tinggi, which broke out yesterday afternoon, has been completely extinguished early this morning - nearly 13 hours after fire-fighting operations started.
KLIA Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Zone 5 chief Senior Fire Superintendent II Mohamad Issmanto Md Pono said that in the initial stages, the fire was reported to involve a small 0.61-hectare bushland area, but the blaze spread to 8.09 hectares due to the hot weather and strong wind.
