This year's event, themed 'Mind and Heart in Motion: Run, Breathe, Rescue!', brought together healthcare professionals and the community to promote the importance of a healthy lifestyle. PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) aims to set up 38 new Community Fire Learning Centres (CFLCs) nationwide within the next three years, says its director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad. He said currently, seven centres are already operating in several locations: the Jalan Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue Station in Kuala Lumpur; JBPM Johor headquarters; Kuantan Station in Pahang; Ayer Keroh Station in Melaka; Precinct 14 Station in Putrajaya; and the Batu Lintang and Serian stations in Sarawak. He said these centres represent a shift in the function of fire stations from being solely emergency response facilities to becoming hubs for public education on fire safety and rescue awareness. 'The centres provide a platform for the community to visit fire stations, learn about safety, as well as gain practical knowledge in fire prevention,' he told reporters after launching the Precinct 14 CFLC yesterday, Bernama reported. Also present was Datuk Izwan Hasli Mohd Ibrahim, chief executive officer and director of Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd (PJH). According to Nor Hisham, all the CFLC centres will offer interactive modules such as fire extinguishing demonstrations, rescue tool usage, and hands-on emergency drills. 'These initiatives are crucial to fostering a culture of safety as a shared responsibility, not just the tasks of firefighters alone. 'The CFLCs will also function as inclusive, community-friendly learning centres offering experiential education, with child- friendly approaches and engaging, outdoor-style activities,' he said.
