LIMBANG (Aug 8): Firefighters from the Limbang Fire and Rescue (Bomba) Station ventured into the interior of Limbang to raise fire safety awareness among students and the local community.
On Wednesday, the team travelled by road for over an hour to reach SK Kuala Medalam, where they conducted a Fire Safety Talk and Demonstration of Fire Extinguishers (APA) Procedures.
The programme, held from 10.30am to 2.15pm, included briefings for students and teachers on key aspects of fire safety and the proper use of fire extinguishers.
'Among the topics covered were building evacuation procedures during a fire, hands-on practice with fire extinguishers (APA technique), and awareness of the causes, effects, and appropriate responses to fires,' a Bomba Limbang spokesperson said.
The session also included guidance on how to respond if trapped in a smoke-filled room, as well as a demonstration of the 'Stop, Drop and Roll' technique to put out fire on a person's clothing.
Bomba Limbang also reminded members of the public, especially those in rural or remote areas, to contact the nearest fire station in the event of a fire, and to be clear and accurate when providing information during an emergency call. bomba fire safety lead limbang SK Kuala Medalam
