KUCHING: Swift action by the public managed to save two cars from being completely burnt on Friday.
The two cars were parked in front of a house in Kampung Haji Baki and were seen burning by a public member who informed the others.
A spokesman from the State Fire Department operations centre said firemen from Batu Lintang station were deployed to the scene after receiving an emergency call around 11.40pm.
