Busy times ahead for Mt Kinabalu rescue team after reopening of borders


The Ranau Fire and Rescue Department’s Mosar team carried an injured climber on a stretcher during a recent rescue mission on Mount Kinabalu.

KOTA KINABALU: Firemen stationed at Mount Kinabalu in Ranau are bracing themselves for busy times ahead now that more climbers are allowed to scale Malaysia’s highest peak.

The men from the Fire and Rescue Department’s Mountain Search and Rescue (Mosar) team have been occupied with rescue work in the years before Covid-19 struck but have been largely out of action the last two years.
