Two adults also died in the blaze that engulfed Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz religious school in the early hours of September 14. Authorities have conducted fire safety inspections at 104 of 402 registered religious schools in the state of Selangor, according to Bernama. When emergency responders arrived, "almost 90% of the building was already on fire," a fire and rescue department official told reporters. A forensic police officer investigates burnt windows at an Islamic religious school following the fire. The charges came shortly after a fire partially gutted another religious school in Serembam, around 20 miles south of the capital on Thursday.
