Electricity overload has been identified as the cause of a fire which destroyed an apartment unit of the government's quarters in Precinct 16, Putrajaya, last night. Fire and rescue department Director General Datuk Seri Wan Mohd Nor Ibrahim also said poor maintenance had resulted in the water sprinklers not working during the incident. He added that the fire and rescue department had faced difficulties in putting out the fire due to the failure of the water sprinkler system. He also stressed that scheduled maintenance of the apartment blocks should be conducted on a monthly or yearly basis. In the 9pm incident, a 58 year old woman was rescued by neighbours during the fire which badly damaged the apartment unit. (Soundbite Of Datuk Seri Wan Mohd Nor Ibrahim / Fire And Rescue Dept Director General Subtitle: Initially, we believe the extensive electrical wiring and sparking which melt the casings, caused the fire to spread to other areas.)
