Bomba uses drones as strong winds fan Johor peat fire, sending smoke into Taman Bayu Damai homes
摘要
柔佛州峇株巴辖一处12公顷的泥炭地发生火灾，强风将浓烟吹入大湾花园住宅区。消防部门将灭火工作分为两个区域，在B区使用长距离水带和多喷嘴进行扑救，但由于强风导致火势复燃并蔓延。已有两户家庭因火势逼近被疏散。截至上午11时，约20%的火场面积已受控。消防人员使用无人机测绘火势、寻找水源并引导救援路线。附近居民被建议留在室内避免接触烟雾。
KOTA TINGGI, Jan 26 — Johor firefighters are deploying drones to battle a 12-hectare peat fire in Taman Bayu Damai as strong northern winds push thick smoke into residential areas.
Johor Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Muhamad Sabri Ramli said the blaze, initially contained at five hectares, spread rapidly due to dry conditions and gusty winds, New Straits Times reported today.
“Firefighting efforts have been divided into two sectors. In Sector B, personnel used a 500-foot hose and multiple nozzles to suppress the flames. However, strong northern winds caused new flare-ups and pushed dense smoke toward housing areas,” he was quoted as saying.
Two families were evacuated to the Teluk Empang community hall after the fire neared their homes, Tanjung Surat assemblyman Aznan Tamin said.
As of 11am, firefighters had extinguished about five acres, or 20 per cent of the affected area.
Drones are being used to map the fire’s spread, identify water sources, and guide access routes for crews.
Muhamad Sabri added that Sector A operations were limited by distant water sources and shallow drains, forcing all personnel to focus on Sector B.
Residents in nearby areas have been advised to remain indoors and avoid the smoke.
