The North Wind season started and the weather become so dry and hot. First fire call was at 3pm something about forest fire, my team didn’t respond as teams at that town don’t need help. Back to home, face the PC until 4.50pm comes another call that reporting a supermarket fire. Sounds like a serious one.
Depart from the station after enough of crews. I get the front seat. It’s really got me mad at every junction. Those idiots really don’t stop and give away to emergency vehicle. When we got there, the governments and the town volunteer’s fire teams were already there. I don’t see any fire but the smoke is heavy. This time, I don’t run the attack line but helps in set up the thing. Without B.A. all we can do is spray the water to the top of building where the smoke comes out from outside of building.
Due to the height of burning area, the government gets their ladder truck to assist in this operation. Second time for me to see ladder truck on fire ground. After half hour, the government’s fire team start to break and attack the store which is burning. Then, we use high pressure water spray into it. This had taken us about two hours to pull it off. I walk around the fire ground and in my mind was: Damn, lot of fire trucks and teams. Government’s two tenders and a ladder together with seventeen trucks from volunteer’s fire team around Kedah state and Penang state made up to twenty fire trucks.
Again we respond to same place by next morning at around 1am as there is smoking out again. But it isn’t serious so government crews is taken care it.
