Water bombing slows 105ha bushfire in Mukah
Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department Facebook picture. SIBU: Aerial water bombings have successfully slowed the spread of a bushfire involving about 105ha in Mukah. Mukah Fire and Rescue Station chief Nicholas Belulin said the firefighting operation was carried out by the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department using an Mi-171 helicopter. 'A total of four water bombings were carried out at 3.30pm on Wednesday, releasing 6,360 litres of water over the affected area,' he said in a statement yesterday, Bernama reported. 'This prompt action managed to slow the fire's movement and helped prevent it from spreading to nearby areas,' he added. However, the operation was halted after 42 minutes due to technical issues affecting the aircraft's system. 'Following inspection, several components need to be replaced, and the spare parts will be delivered by the maintenance team via road,' he said. Nicholas added that the operation was conducted in hazy conditions. According to him, the bushfire in Mukah was first detected on July 24, and firefighting efforts have been ongoing in stages since then. 'The Fire and Rescue Department has been conducting aerial monitoring and creating fire breaks to prevent the blaze from spreading further into oil palm plantations and nearby settlements,' he said. He added that water bombing was introduced as an additional measure after the fire proved difficult to control through conventional ground-based methods due to the vast area and limited accessibility. Nicholas said operations are expected to resume, pending confirmation that the aircraft is safe and operational.

JBPM Distributes 150 Community Boats Nationwide To Help Expedite Flood Rescue Ops
SEREMBAN, July 31 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has begun distributing 150 community boats, valued at RM1.8 million, nationwide to facilitate and expedite the rescue of flood victims at the early stage. Deputy Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu said the phased handing-over of the boats to eligible recipients began today. 'The bodies identified as eligible recipients include the Community and Volunteer Fire Brigade, Rukun Tetangga groups, Village Development and Security Committee, as well as the Federal Village Development and Security Committee and stations with a high number of flood rescue operations. 'The procurement of the new boats and accessories for community rescue was made through the allocation under the 2023 Third Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) to facilitate the rescue process of local communities to safe locations,' she said. She told reporters this after officiating the Water Activity Safety Campaign programme in conjunction with the World Drowning Prevention Day, which was also attended by JBPM director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad here today. Aiman Athirah also said that Malaysia recorded an average of 1,359 deaths from drowning from 2020 to 2024, with an annual fatality average of 272. 'If analysed, the number of deaths from drowning is much higher than deaths due to fires. The high-risk age group - between 20 and 39 and between seven and 19 - recorded the highest number of fatalities, accounting for 36 per cent and 30 per cent of the total deaths, respectively,' she said. As such, she said appropriate prevention programmes need to be implemented, in addition to ensuring policy planning involving the participation of various sectors is carried out to reduce the risks of drowning incidents. Aiman Athirah said continuous efforts, like today's campaign, should be expanded not only to tourist areas but also to villages and rural areas near natural water resources, such as rivers and lakes.
