Around 9pm, after a short nap, trying to online for while, then heard a calling "Bomba Semeling, Standby, Forest Fire Huge". I just OMG! Again! After take those cloth, pant and fire helmet then rushing to the meeting spot. When I reach there, walao ei, so many teammates until the little fire truck packed. Haha. While on rushing to the fire scene, we counted number of members who on the truck. Break the record, 18 persons in total.
While we reach there, it is beside the express way. At first, we move to top of the mountain, so "exciting" cause the road is so "nice". The fire just at the "leg" of the little mountain. Other than fire, we can see also night view which kind of beautiful. Haha. After found there is no way down to the fire, then we move down and searching for alternative road.
I didn't follow the truck but with the bike of CRSM members, since it faster then the truck. With the guide of local people, we found there is little path seems can move in. After took torchlight from member on the truck, me with another teammate start searching for way to where the fire was. It's first time I'm moving in only two persons a group with a torchlight in the middle of forest. After about 200 meters, we found it then after while other members was here too. We can see the fire is moving toward us. We just can move backward until water support is reached.
About 1 hour consumed to pull out the fire totally. It's amazing experience to move in the forest with only torchlight. Actually it's kind of dangerous because at first we don't have any self-protecting weapons. Honestly I'm kind of scare of wild dangerous animals like snakes, wild boars. The fire is moving toward us, sure the wild living will escape toward us. Next time, i think i need to prepare myself a parang. Haha.
