KOTA KINABALU:
Twenty- seven people were made homeless when a fire destroyed two semi- concrete houses at Kampung Cenderakasih in Kolombong yesterday afternoon. The fire also gutted a single-storey house occupied by 12 people. It was learnt that only an elderly man was in one of the houses but he escaped unhurt in the fire which started around 12.35pm. Four fire engines from Sembulan rushed to the scene. The fire was put under control within an hour and put off completely two hours later. All the fire victims would be temporarily putting up with their relatives or at the village’s multipurpose hall
