KUALA LUMPUR: Two siblings were found dead in a fire in a terraced house on Jalan Dewan Simpang Tiga, Gombak, early today.
Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Selangor director Datuk Norazam Khamis said the victims were identified as nine-year-old Nur Syaza Alfisya Muhammad Faizan and her six-year-old brother Muhammad Al Qayyum Muhammad Faizan.
He said the fire brigade received a distress call at 3.54 am and 22 firefighters from the Selayang and Rawang fire and rescue stations, as well as the Gombak Volunteer Fire Squad were mobilised to the scene.
