Footage of a towering pillar of flame and smoke in the hilltops of Taman Tun Abdul Razak (Taman TAR) in Selangor went viral on social media last night (2 February).
Based on the videos, the fire appears to be behind some houses near the Bukit Kembara Trail alongside the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) in Ampang.
According to New Straits Times, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Ahmad Mukhlis Mokhtar confirmed it to be a forest fire located on a hilltop near Menara Indah Apartment which occurred around 8pm.
Ahmad Mukhlis added that the fire was on a part of the hill with no access route.
