Teen sisters die after being trapped inside home during fire<\/h2>\n

On Monday (1 June), two teen sisters were trapped inside their two-storey terraced house <\/span>in Johor Bahru during a fire.<\/p>\n

As the windows were covered, Huang Yujie, 15, and Huang Yuning, 13 (both transliterated from Chinese), were unable to escape.<\/p>\n

According to China Press, the incident occurred at around 8pm, and the sisters fell into a coma as firefighters rushed them to Sultan Ismail Hospital.<\/p>\n

They were later confirmed dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n

One of the family’s neighbours told the Chinese Daily that the fire had spread quickly, and the community’s attempts to put it out were futile.<\/p>\n

They believe that the fire began downstairs, before adding that firefighters were struggling to reach the upper floor due to the intense blaze.<\/p>\n

Teens were trapped due to iron grilles on windows<\/h3>\n

Meanwhile, another neighbour from the house behind claimed to have heard a child shouting for help.<\/p>\n

They believed that the sisters were to escape due to the iron bars installed on the windows and that they suffocated from inhaling too much smoke.<\/p>\n

A relative of the deceased revealed that they were found close to each other in the same room, one in the toilet and the other in bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The fire is believed to have started in the downstairs living room [before] it spread. The upstairs area was not burned, but thick smoke rose upstairs,” she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sisters’ bodies are undergoing autopsies, and authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
