In a bid to improve the capabilities of police personnel in handling fires, officers of the Sengkurong police station undertook a training course on fire prevention at the station yesterday.

The officers learnt the different ways of putting out a fire depending on the situation and materials.

For instance, water can only be used to control fires on things like wood and plastic, but not on oil and other flammable materials.

Officers were also briefed on the services of the Fire Department where it was explained that the three emergency agencies - the fire department, police and medical services - should always work hand in hand in emergencies including fires, accidents and so on.

The course was conducted by officers from the Fire Services Department including Deputy Station Officer (Public Relation Officer), Norzali bin Apong, who was assisted by Wadi bin Hj Mohd Tuah and Siti Azizah bte Hj Bagut.

The fire-training course was headed by DCS Sengkurong Police Station, Insp. Zinal Abidin Hj Ibrahim and AG DSO Sengkurong Police Station Insp. Hj Mohd Shamsul Khaireen Hj Abu Bakar.
