Negeri Sembilan JBPM Senior Operations Commander Mohd Hanafi Wahid said the fire broke out at about 9 pm and no casualties have been reported.
“So far, personnel from the Seremban Fire and Rescue Station, with assistance from the Seremban 2 Fire and Rescue Station, are actively conducting firefighting operations,” he said in a statement tonight.

He said the report was received at about 9 pm, but the size of the affected area was yet to be determined due to the dark conditions.
