KENINGAU: A house and a nearby café were badly damaged in a fire at Kampung Bakiau here around noon on Sunday, after flames believed to have started at the house spread to the adjoining premises.

Sabah Fire and Rescue Department received an emergency call at 12.18pm and arrived four minutes later, with firefighters containing the blaze by 12.25pm and fully extinguishing it at about 2.08pm using offensive and defensive hose lines supplied by a water tanker.

The fire destroyed the non-permanent house and damaged about 90 per cent of the permanent café building, with no injuries reported, as 11 personnel carried out final checks before ending the operation.
