                      Twelve firemen in two fire engines from the Teluk Bahang Fire Station brought
                  the blaze under control by 7.00 p.m.

                      Teluk Bahang Fire and Rescue Department Chief Samsul bin Zakaria said a lack
                  of water supply had hampered the firemen’s efforts to extinguish the blaze. Firemen
                  were forced to utilise water from a nearby lake to supplement the water supply.

                      As a result, he said, the firemen took close to four hours to bring the raging flames
                  under control in the hilly area.

                      There were no reports of property damage in the area. Park officials were unable
                  to identify the cause of the fire. The officials declined further comment  pending
                  investigations.
