22 MAC 2010
MIRI: Big cloud of thick smoke that attracted attention of people around Bakam road was from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Miri.
DAMAGED: Aftermath of the fire incident where the hostel was completely gutted.
The fire was reported around 9.45 am yesterday.
It was reportedly the second fire incident in the school since 2002.
This time around it happened just next to the block that was destroyed during the first fire incident.
However, yesterday’s fire only damaged the whole of the floor of the Asrama Putera Block consisting of 10 rooms.
Seven of the rooms were used to accommodate the male boarding students, while the other three rooms were used for storerooms.
Each room was used to lodge 12 students, most of whom were Form One kids.
Fortunately, there was no injury reported in the incident.
One of the students noticed the smoke from the building and immediately informed the school warden who immediately contacted the fire brigade.
The school warden who is also a teacher at the school, Ustaz Husni Mohd Nor said:
“Luckily, there was no injury involved as at the time there was no student inside the building as most of the students were attending a seminar at the nearby block.
“It was the second time such (fire) incident happened at our school. The first one in 2002 was just at the next door block. The fire was suspected to be from a short circuit,” he added.
Meanwhile, according to the school principal Ustaz Fazial Ahmad, the affected students would be placed at the next block for the meantime.
“This is because the whole building will be closed temporarily as advised by the fire officer for further inspection,” the principal said, when asked what were the plans taken by the school management regarding the resettlement of affected student.
The school session will reopen as usual today.
