A forensic probe is already underway on the fire that broke out at a building block of the five-star resort The Andaman, a Luxury Collection Resort, in Jalan Teluk Datai, about 40 kilometres from Kuah town, here.
Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department operations director Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said the forensic team is being assisted by personnel from the Kedah Fire and Rescue Department. “JBPM will conduct comprehensive investigations because based on the building designs at the resort, the fire should not have spread rapidly. We are looking at and handling this issue from the legal aspects apart from also looking in local logistical needs,“ he told Bernama today.
“Besides the hot and dry weather and the building structure made out of wood, based on my observations in the field yesterday, firefighters had difficulty obtaining adequate water supply to extinguish the flames more effectively.
