A 44-year-old man has opened up his home in USJ26 to victims of the massive gas pipeline fire that broke out in Putra Heights this morning.

Adrian Low, 44, said he felt the doors and windows of his house shake around 8.10am and saw massive flames not far away from his neighbourhood.

He initially evacuated his home with his family but was forced to turn back upon realising he had left behind his wallet and phone.

As he reached his front gate, the internal auditor realised that the fire was not dangerously close to his neighbourhood.

At the same time, a family with children who had evacuated their home in Putra Heights approached him, asking for water to drink and wash their faces.

Low let them inside his house without a second thought.

“I told my mum, ‘Let’s help these people.’

“My family is used to helping people. This is not a big deal at all,” he told FMT.

After hearing about Low’s good deed, the rest of his family also decided to step in to help these victims.

Low said his brother’s wife prepared a table full of cooked food, including lemang, ketupat and curry to serve the 20 or so victims sheltering in their home.

His brother helped transport victims with cuts sustained from evacuation to the nearby clinic, while others were sent to the hospital with second-degree burns.

“My friend saw that I was helping them and also offered to help by sending food and water,” Low said.

The massive fire that broke out earlier this morning came from a leak in a Petronas Gas Bhd main pipeline that is about 500m long.

Petronas has since shut off the pipeline valve. However, the fire had spread to several homes in the nearby Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, forcing residents to be evacuated.

Selangor police deputy chief Zaini Abu Hassan said at least 112 people have been injured and 49 homes affected.

Of the 112 victims, he said 63 people were sent to hospitals in Cyberjaya, Serdang and Putrajaya, while the remaining 49 victims received initial treatment at the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple in Subang Jaya from medical personnel stationed there.
