KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Services Department will during the festive season patrol highways and main roads identified as accident-prone areas to provide speedy assistance.
Assistant director of operations, Azizan Ismail, said the patrols will be for two weeks beginning Sept 13 on a continuous basis with shift changes every three hours.
"Seven fire stations will be involved and they are the central station at Jalan Hang Tuah, the Pudu station, Cheras station, Taman Desa station, Wangsa Maju station, Bukit Jalil station and the Taman Tun Dr Ismail station.
"Each station will have seven firemen and an officer on constant stand-by," Azizan told Bernama after the launch of Ops Raya 2009 at the Sungai Besi toll plaza here on Friday.
The launch was done by Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha and Ops Raya 2009 is intended to raise awareness of road safety.
Azizan said during the patrols the firemen were also directed to inspect, prevent and remove possible sources of fire at places where large number of people congregated, especially shopping complexes.
He also reminded people heading to their hometowns or villages to switch off all electrical items and gas pipes as a precaution.
Azizan said people also needed to inform their neighbours to watch their homes while they were away.
