JOHOR BARU: The Fire and Rescue Department is calling for an immediate stop to all open burning activities given that the current dry spell has ignited three major forest and estate fires involving 400ha in two states.
Its director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad said the present dry spell is keeping firemen extremely busy as they have to attend to more than 400 cases daily involving open burning, forest and shrub fires nationwide.
