Fighting fires with ingenuity


JOHOR BARU: What started as a simple invention by a group of firemen from a fire station in Kluang almost 16 years ago to fight peat fires, has now grown into an internationally recognised invention to help the environment.

In fact, this gadget won numerous awards locally and internationally, with one organisation from Japan offering a research grant totalling almost 100 million yen (RM3.3mil).
