Towering inferno erupts on outskirts of Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur

A colossal fire erupted on Tuesday in a Malaysian suburb outside Kuala Lumpur, forcing people from their homes and injuring dozens.

The towering inferno near a petrol station in Putra Heights in central Selangor state was visible for miles around. At least 63 people were being treated in hospitals for burns, respiratory problems or other injuries, authorities said, with more than 100 injured.

Pictures and videos of the fireball went viral on social media, with some residents saying they felt the doors and windows of their homes shaking due to the explosion that preceded the fire.
