A large fire broke out today (June 21) at a paper factory located on Jalan Lembah Kinrara, Kampung Lembah Kinrara, Puchong, destroying nearly 80% of the premises.
Thick black smoke was visible from miles away, including in the Bandar Sunway area, as shown in viral videos circulating on social media.
According to Assistant Director of Operations for the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM), Ahmad Mukhlis Mukhtar, the department received an emergency call at 12:14 pm.
The fire affected a factory spanning approximately 1,115 square metres. Firefighters from the Puchong Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) were deployed to the scene, supported by teams from BBP Subang Jaya, BBP Seri Kembangan, and BBP Jalan Penchala.
