While coming back from Kuala Lumpur to my workplace this afternoon, I saw a small thick black smoke raising to the sky. Initially I thought it was from some illegal burning in some area. While getting closer to my workplace, the smoke become more obvious and thicker. So, I drive to that smoke area to see what really happening there.
It was not illegal burning. It was old shophouses on fire, real huge fire. The fire was three-storey high from what I observed. The shophouses has a history of more than 60 years old and made of wood and were consist of car workshops. That's why it was so easily burned. The heat was so great even I can feel it in my car while passing by the burning shophouses...
Below are some of the pics taken from my ailing camera phone. All pics were taken while i was driving (I did not stopped to see the firemen save the shophouses) and the quality of the pics is really bad... :)

It was so scary. Luckily no one was hurt. The pictures remind me of a fire I saw in Penang when I was a teenager. I woke up in the middle of the night because it was so hot and bright. The neighbor's house across the road was on fire and we lived next to a shell petrol station! I can feel a shiver down my spine right now.
