A typical hot Friday afternoon which I still lying on my bed, yelling of PTT device which reporting "Taman Desa Jaya house on fire" get me out of the bed, as usual run to the car and rush to meeting spot. Topless again this time cause forgot my top. Haha. When I was the meeting point, seems nobody know the fire.
Then I quickly call my captain and he is not aware as well. We depart immediately after he came in within 1 min. But when we reached there, the fire was covered by government FD, and they assigned 3 fire engines there. After we confirm help no needed, then we leaving.
By 8.45PM, with several junior teammates, we are doing stuff that needed for our forthcoming dinner. After enough peoples was there, then I taught them what actually to do. After 10 mins, one of the senior teammate coming to meet our at temporarily meeting spot.
We all were wondering why both of them came with full set of fire duty dress code. Then they told me that is fire at Bedong. We all dropped works then jump into our fire truck and depart. On the middle of way, other teams reporting the fire is huge. While we almost there, we already can see the fire on the sky. It was terrible sign.
When we reached there, it really a sucks case. We can see only the real huge fire. Once the fire truck stopped, I immediately jump off the truck. But too bad, truck need to moved for looking for water source, I was left there. Once the truck leaving the first stop point, then a explosion occurred, it was a huge one untill I am stunned several seconds then just realized that I should have run. It was my very first time to be live in huge explosion fire scene. Real stunning. Here the video by firedog84( took by bedong people):
After the explosion, i still not really run pass there to find my team. But no choice, I have to and think it should not be a problem then I quickly run pass and take a task as pump controller since I got no complete firefighting dress. At the same time, we found that water source is very low in pressure, once again it make the fire rescue duty tougher.
The fire is really huge, about one and half hour used to take the fire under-controlled. After three hours more tired duty we all were leave to home at 12.30AM. That time government FD still there since there fire not yet fully pull out. It is my first time to run fire duty for more than three hours.
