16 July 2010: Simpang Empat, Kedah Shophouses On Fire

It's a late night after had coffee session with my coffee kaki, then change table to with my fire team teammates at our favorite malay stall called Panjang (since 7 years ago). While we talking about fire stuff, my friend walkie-talkie on call, "Simpang Empat house fire, just started". We are thinking which Simpang Empat since there is few places called the same name. When VFD of Guar Cempedak being asked for support then I run home to take my PPE then run to our new fire station. Few members was there already.

Since there is quite far from us, then I make a call to our captain for the permission. He approved and at the same time they reporting the fire is big one and support needed. Then we departed. It takes us about 35 mins to reach the fire scene. When we reach there we can see a lot of fire trucks there and few on their ways. After 15 mins being there, the fire was under-controlled. Then we collect our hoses and pumps.

Just after the pump located correctly on the trucks, there is another call of fire which happen at Sg Lalang. Oh God!! After throw (they really throw due to rush) all hoses on trucks, we departed again immediately together with few fire trucks which belong VFD from Central Kedah. When almost reach, VFD which already there told the fire is covered and not a big deal, just cable burnt. Then we stop at roadside for out supper before heading home.
