The fire at the EPF building was caused by a spark that ignited a flammable cladding panel used on the building’s exterior. According to the Fire and Rescue Department, the fire started on the first floor of the six-floor building, where maintenance work was being carried out at the exterior part of the building. (Soundbite of Datuk Soiman Jahid / Fire And Rescue Department Deputy Director General (operations) Subtitle: According to initial investigations, the fire started from the first floor, where the outdoor maintenance work was being carried out and due to the hot weather, strong wind, the fire spread rapidly to the flammable outer cladding. Our checks also showed that no fire occured inside the building except on the six-floor, where files that are not important to EPF were slightly burnt.)
