KUALA LUMPUR: A fire broke out at the Suria KLCC shopping complex earlier this evening, forcing some 5,000 people to be evacuated
Office workers and shoppers in the area were among the first to report on the fire via Twitter, including posting photos of smoke billowing from the building.
Federal Territory Fire and Rescue Department assistant director Azizan Ismail said the fire started in the kitchen of a restaurant, situated at the concourse level.
“It was a small fire but the smoke made it look like a big one,” he told reporters.
Four fire engines with 30 firemen arrived at the scene after receiving the call.
The fire was put out at 5.48pm.
He said no one was injured in the incident and the cause of fire is being investigated.
