MIRI: The Penans of Long Kevok settlement, located in the deep interior of northern Sarawak, have set up their own voluntary firefighting unit - a first among the Penan community in Sarawak.

The successful set up of the emergency response team was the result of intense training and cooperation between Bomba and the rakyat, said Miri Fire and Rescue Department chief Supt Law Poh Kiong on Tuesday (Feb 18).
