Don’t take fire safety for granted


FIRE and Rescue Department director-general Datuk Muhammad Hamdan Wahid revealed on April 3 that about 140 out of 650 government buildings nationwide have yet to be issued a fire certificate (FC), and 39 of those buildings are located in the country’s administrative capital, Putrajaya.

It was reported that the department would adopt a more aggressive approach to ensure that all government-owned buildings have their FC by the end of this year.
