Teamwork can keep forest fires at bay, says department


KUALA SELANGOR: There must be interagency and community-based partnerships to fight forest fires, especially at peatland forest reserves. says Selangor Forestry Department director Dr Puat Dahalan.

He said they welcomed the contributions from the community when it came to keeping forest encroachment to a minimal level – a measure that reduces the probability of irresponsible behaviour such as setting fires, accidentally or otherwise.
