KUALA LUMPUR: Leave for 80 per cent of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department officers and personnel has been frozen in preparation for any emergency during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive season.

The department director-general Datuk Abdul Wahab Mat Yasin said the move involves 10,174 members and takes effect from Saturday until April 30.

"The public is reminded to always improve fire safety aspects in their respective premises and homes before returning to their hometown so as not to face any losses,” he told Bernama. "For your information, the risk of fire increases during the festive season and it is important for all parties to enhance their awareness about the importance of fire safety measures,” he said.

"However, we remain prepared and take into account popular spots for Hari Raya and Ramadan. We have also increased enforcement by conducting inspections to eliminate fire hazards to prevent fires,” he said.
