KOTA TINGGI: Helicopters will be deployed tomorrow for water bombing to speed up efforts to put out the peat fire along Jalan Sungai Kapal and Taman Bayu Damai, Pengerang, which has affected 99.54 hectares since it started on Friday (Jan 28).
Punggai Fire and Rescue Station chief, Leading Fire Officer II Ezam Mistorerrodin, said the use of helicopters was vital to fight peat fires that are hard to access on the ground and often burn below the surface.
