Yesterday, fire broke out at one of the shop lots in the Mid Valley Megamall shopping complex. It was said that the incident happened about 8.15pm.
According to New Straits Times, the fire was believed to originate from a shop located on the third floor.
It is reported that the fire might’ve broke out after a fax machine in the room caught fire. As smoke filled the level above the basement, people were asked to evacuate the vicinity and about 10 other stores were closed down, including Aeon supermarket.
