City Fire and Rescue Department acting deputy director Samsol Maarif Saibani said 60 rescuers were deployed including its Special Tactical Operation Rescue Malaysia (Storm) from Selangor and the city centre.
As of 5.51am, the rescuers have been divided into three groups which will scour three sectors - A, B and C.
Each group is responsible for sifting through four pillars of debris to locate the victim.
In total, four victims have been sent to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).
The four rescued victims were Bangladeshi and Vietnamese, as well as a Sabahan.
