Bandar Seri Begawan - Thick smoke billowing from a study room of a house in the Kampong Pandan Tujoh housing area sparked panic among neighbours on Tuesday evening.

According to reports from the Fire and Rescue Department in Belait, the thick smoke came from a couch in the study room which had caught fire, which was ignited by the burning of traditional dry wood.

A call was made to the Belait fire station at 8.45pm and the smoke was contained within minutes by 10 firefighters led by Special Commander Pg Rosli bin Pg Hj Ahmad.

No injuries were reported during the minor mishap which occured at the home of Awang Omar bin Haji Yusof who is staying with his wife and seven other dependants. The loss was estimated at $400. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
