KUALA LUMPUR: Only 20 per cent of more than 15,000 firefighters and officers of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) nationwide will be allowed to go on leave in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, this year.
JBPM director-general Datuk Seri Mohammad Hamdan Wahid said this was to ensure that there was no disruption to the department’s services during this period.
“Even though inter-state movements are not allowed, the JBPM will continue with preparedness activities involving 322 stations nationwide. JBPM firefighters and officers will continue to patrol their respective areas in addition to continuing other general duties.
