Keep fire safety equipment handy

Hard to accept: Neighbours gathering in front of the Lims’ burnt-out house are feeling the loss of their friends.

PETALING JAYA: It is regrettable that people only start to think of what fire prevention tools they should have for their homes after a mishap happens, says the Fire and Rescue Department.

Fire safety equipment such as smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and fire blankets are actually quite cheap, according to Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department director Khirudin Drahman @ Husaini.
