Questions Mount After Latest Klang Valley Fireworks Disaster
Firefighters from the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn station battled the blaze with three fire engines, arriving to find the stall fully engulfed and secondary fires spreading to parked vehicles.
The intensity of the fire and continuous explosions of firework inventory made the initial approach extremely challenging, said the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department.
While no casualties were reported, the incident raises serious questions about the storage and retail of fireworks in commercial areas.
This marks the latest in a series of firework-related incidents in Klang Valley during the Chinese New Year festive period, prompting calls for stricter regulations.
