This morning at 6 am was woken up by a call by a fried that told me that my building is on fire. Got up immediately to investigate but then found out it was the building next door that was on fire, the new Shell Malaysia's corporate HQ or also known as 348 Sentral. This building is still under construction.
At 6.20 a.m., I took a photo with my camera. Location of the shot is on the 36th floor of the Suasana Loft. At that time only one floor is on fire.
By 7:20 a.m., 3 floors are already on fire (picture below). You can hear the cracking of the exposed metal bars as they expand due to the heat and cracking sounds of concrete. You can feel the heat from where I was standing.
Saw a few firemen already on the top floor but they cannot do much as there is no water pressure available to push all the way up to the 36th floor. Instead, they are using the water on the roof of Suasana Loft to spray the fire.
Took a video of the fire as well.
Traffic around KL Sentral is currently standstill.
