Georgetown : A fire gutted a bean sprout processing factory off Jalan Tun sardon here yesterday causing damage estimated at more than RM300,000

The factory owner's son Tan Siew Keong,30,said two employees were in the factory when the fire broke out at about 12.30pm
The fire which could have been caused by a short circuit started from the kitchen
Also razed were 3 rooms attached to the factory which were used as a hostel for the workers and a storeroom.Packed bean sprouts worth about RM3,000 were also destroyed he said
Paya Terubong fire station chief Goh Thean Lai said they received a call at 12.32pm and arrived at the scene at 12.40pm
