These continuous initiatives form part of the GRDM Fire Services’ Fire Prevention and Fire Safety functions. Whilst the focus is placed on rural communities, businesses and schools within the residential areas are also assisted upon request.
Some of the Fire Safety tips shared at the sessions include:
- Do not make drum fires in your house, and if done, please ensure that the fires are extinguished before going to bed.
- Continue to burn rubbish and debris in designated areas.
- Do not make large ‘bond’ fires in between informal houses especially when winds are prevailing as the conduction and radiation of heat happen easily from one structure to another.
