The blaze broke out in the early hours of Sunday in one of Sabah’s water villages. These villages feature closely-packed wooden houses built on stilts over the water. The local fire department confirmed the scale of the destruction.
The local police chief stated that 9,000 residents were affected by the incident. Authorities reported no deaths or injuries from the fire. Narrow access paths reportedly hindered emergency services from reaching the area. Strong winds also fanned the flames as the fire raged through the village.
