Sarawak Bomba goes all out to douse forest fires before schools reopen

KUCHING: The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department hopes to extinguish most of the forest fires in the state, particularly those in the Kuala Baram area near Miri, before school reopens next Monday (Aug 19).

Its director Khirudin Drahman said the department was continuing its firefighting operations in concert with other agencies, while scattered rain had helped alleviate the situation.
