At 8:08 am local time on 1 April 2025, [6] [7] an explosion occured at the Petronas-owned Peninsula Gas Utilisation underground gas pipeline between gate valve 210 and gate valve 211 in Putra Heights, [8] [9] resulting in a large mushroom cloud in a residential area around Jalan Putra Harmoni. [10] Flames reached 30 metres (98 feet) and temperatures reached over 1,000 °C (1,830 °F). [4] [11] [12] They were visible from several kilometres away, with videos of the conflagration quickly circulating across social media platforms. [5] [7]

Eyewitness accounts documented extensive property damage, including structural damage to homes and vehicles. [5] At least 49 houses were impacted by the fire. [7] [13]

The explosion and ensuing flames shook the ground and rocked resident's houses, [14] which was felt up to 1.5 km (0.93 mi) from the epicentre. [15] Residents said the roaring flame sounded like tremors [13] [16] or a hurricane, [17] while others described the sound as an airplane turbine, [18] or an airplane flying over their house. [19] [20] Debris from the explosion crashed through the roof of one resident's house and hit her leg. [17]

Intense heat generated by the roaring flame, melted cars, [10] [16] [15] motorcycles, [21] [22] plastic pipes, water tanks, CCTV camera, [14] PVC wires, [10] [15] and other fixtures in nearby houses. [14]

Surrounding objects heated up rapidly after the blast, making it difficult for residents to retrieve their belongings. One resident who attempted to save his motorcycle said his skin stuck to the metal upon contact, resulting in burns to his hands. [21]

The asphalt road in the immediate vicinity was also heated up to the point that escaping residents found their rubber slippers and flip-flops melted away in the process. [17] [22] An elderly woman suffered burns on her legs while running barefoot, and had to be dragged to safety by her children. [23] A man also witnessed his car's side mirror melting away as he drove away from the scene. [15]

“The heat was so intense that we knew if we didn’t run that’s the end of us”, a resident from Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, a village located near the site of fire, told Malay Mail . [15] Many victims within a few hundred metres radius from the fire suffered second- to third-degree burns while escaping, [16] [24] with some receiving first- or fourth-degree burns. [13] [25]

Several residents from Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru fled into the nearby Klang River to escape the intense heat. [15] [22] Some swam across the river to safety, [18] [26] and were rescued by on the other side. [27] [28]

The explosion also caused power outages in Putra Heights and Subang Jaya, which prompted Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to deploy its technical team to the area to carry out repair works. [29] [30] Electricity to the Subang Jaya area was fully restored by 10:22 am, [31] [32] while power supply to affected areas in Putra Heights remained cut off since 4 pm to carry out cable inspection works. [33] [34]

The fire from the burst pipeline persisted for approximately seven hours and was fully extinguished by 3:45 pm. [35] [36] The explosion formed a crater which measured approximately 21 m by 24 m (69 ft by 79 ft) with a depth of 9.8 m (32 feet). [37]

Impact

Injuries

The incident resulted in 111 injuries; 13 in the red zone, 55 in the yellow zone and 43 in the green zone, [note 1] with victims suffering from burns, smoke inhalation, [39] [40] respiratory difficulties, and other physical trauma. Of the injured, 67 required hospitalisation for more serious conditions, while 49 received treatment at a temporary medical base. [5] [41] [42] No death was resulted in this incident. [6] [43] [44]

One victim sustained burns on his left leg when the ceiling of his house collapsed and crushed his vehicle, while another suffered foot injuries while attempting to escape the intense heat. Several residential properties in proximity to the pipeline caught fire during the fire. [5]

On 1 April, Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said that no victims were being treated in intensive care units (ICU). [24] On 2 April the Ministry of Health reported three victims in total were admitted into the ICU: one at Cyberjaya Hospital (later transferred to Kuala Lumpur Hospital), one at Ampang Hospital, and one at Sunway Medical Centre. [45] [note 2] On 3 April, only one patient remained in the ICU. [46]

Environment

Sand, dust and fine gravel from the explosion fell on roofs and cars of residents up to 10 km (6.2 mi) away. [47] Many residents uploaded photos and videos to social media showing vehicles and areas near their homes showered with sand and fine gravel. [19] [20]

No toxic gas or abnormal air pollution index (API) readings were detected in the surrounding areas following the incident according to the Department of Environment. [48] [49]

Displacement

At least 538 people were displaced by the explosion, [50] with most being housed at the multi-purpose hall of Putra Heights Mosque [51] or the Dewan Camelia of Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ). [52] [53]

Property damage

As of 7 April, 437 houses within 325 m radius from the epicentre were inspected by the fire department, and were divided into the following categories: [54] [55] [56]

  1. Completely destroyed (more than 40% damage): 81
  2. Partially destroyed (less than 40% damage): 81
  3. Affected but not burnt down: 57

Gas supply disruption

On 3 April, Italian Baker Sdn Bhd, the manufacturer of Massimo bread loaves, announced that its bread supply would be temporarily limited starting 4 April until further notice, due to a disruption in LNG supply to its factory following the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights. [60] [61] Likewise, Malaysia Smelting Corp, one of the world's largest tin producers, also informed customers that deliveries from its smelter in Port Klang had been disrupted, and it remained unclear when fuel supplies would resume. [62] [63]

Responses

Emergency response

Emergency services received initial notification about the fire at 8:10 am, with first responders quickly mobilising to the site. Selangor Fire and Rescue Department initiated rescue operations for trapped residents while simultaneously combating the fire. A total of 78 firefighters were deployed to help with the fire. [64]

Petronas isolated the affected pipeline by remotely closing off gate valves at 8:51 am and 8:46 am. As a contingency measure, Petronas also closed off or released gas through additional valves. [8] [9] Officials noted that residual gas remaining within the pipeline would take at least four hours to clear out, either by burning up in the fire or being released through the valves. [5] [8]

As part of the emergency response, three nearby Petronas stations (Putra Heights, Putra Bestari, and KM2 LDP) were closed, though authorities confirmed these facilities were not directly affected by the fire. Officials clarified that only the main pipeline was involved in the incident, not the nearby Petronas petrol station as some initial reports had suggested. [5]

Emergency medical services established a medical base at the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple, where 49 victims received treatment, while an additional 63 individuals with more severe injuries were transported to nearby medical facilities. The Ministry of Health dispatched personnel to administer first aid at the temple location, with additional victim support provided by local mosque authorities. [5]

As a precautionary measure, residents in the surrounding areas were evacuated, and a temporary relief center was established at Masjid Putra Heights. [5] The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia also issued advisories requesting the public refrain from flying drones over the affected areas to avoid interference with emergency operations. [5] [65]

On 2 April, the police stated that 24-hour police patrols would be conducted in neighborhoods affected by the fire to ensure the safety of victims' property and belongings, and to prevent looting. District police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat also said the police will be patrolling together with the firefighters to ensure that no secondary fires develop. [33]

Highway closure

At 12:07 pm on 1 April, [66] PLUS Malaysia announced that all routes between Seafield and Bandar Saujana Putra on the ELITE Highway would be closed to all traffic for safety reasons. [67] [68] The closure was later lifted at 1:51 pm on the same day. [69] [70] [71]

Animal care

During the incident, first responders saved two dogs, three rabbits, and a guinea pig from affected homes after the fire subsided. [72] [73] Some pet owners rushed back to their houses to rescue their pets upon learning about the fire, [74] [75] or escaped together upon waking up to the explosion. [74] Many residents who were injured were also seen cradling their pets at the makeshift medical base at the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple. [74]

A resident from Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru also claimed that seven cats owned by his sister died due to the intense heat generated by the fire. "The heat was really so great that pets that were not kept in the house died on the spot", he said. [15] A Putra Heights resident whose cat survived claimed that "most of my neighbour’s cats didn’t make it". [75] [76]

Malaysian Animal Association, an animal welfare NGO, announced they will offer free pet care services for affected pet owners from 2 April until 8 April. [77] On 2 April, the Stray Animal Association of Malaysia (SAFM) mobilised volunteers to rescue pets and stray animals in the affected area. The group collaborated with several veterinary clinics to provide free emergency treatment for animals suffering from burns or smoke inhalation, and distributed food to animals that lost their homes or caretakers. [78]

On 2 April, volunteers found at least two cats that were trapped in affected houses and reunited them with their owners. [75] [76] A coordinated operation by Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (SPCA), SAFM, Animal Kindness Coalition (AKC), the fire department, and other NGOs resulted in the rescue of two snakes, a turtle, a fish, and a hamster, as well as cats and dogs. [79]

Environment monitoring

On 1 April, the Department of Environment (DOE) deployed a team to the site to carry out preliminary air quality monitoring and assessment. [80] [81] The DOE also installed a CEREX gas detector at SK Putra Heights 2, located less than 2 km (1.2 miles) away from the incident site. As of 2 April, the DOE said no toxic gas had been detected and the API readings at the surrounding monitoring stations remained normal. The department also increased enforcement[ clarification needed ] and monitoring efforts via land and air with drones. [48] [49]

Financial assistance

Government

After a site visit on the day of the incident, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced immediate financial aid of RM5,000 to owners whose houses were completely destroyed, while RM2,500 would be given to victims whose houses were partially damaged. [82] [83] Anwar Ibrahim also said affected residents would be compensated by the federal government, Selangor state government and Petronas. [82] [84] He also announced that the government and Petronas would take full responsibility for restoring, fixing, and replacing affected residential units, but said it may a take a year or more to rebuild the houses.
