Firemen come up with novel way to rescue victims
Saturday, 28 January 2017
TEMERLOH: After experiencing
difficulty in rescuing flood victims in 2014, the Mentakab Fire and Rescue
Department here has come up with an innovative way to transport rescue boats to
the water using a self-made floating trailer.
Its chief Mohd Kamarudin Mohd
Saufi said most rescue work during the floods involved transporting victims to
safer grounds or to relief centres.
To overcome this problem, the
Mentakab firemen created a motorised trailer, where a “motorcyclist” pulls the
trailer carrying the boat through areas where the flood water levels are low.
The boat is only released in deeper waters.
Mohd Kamarudin said he spent
RM3,000 to assemble an engine, braking system and battery salvaged from a new
Modenas motorcycle to create the special rescue trailer.
“We made use of discarded
materials like steel, plastic water tanks, tyres and rollers to support the
frame of the trailer. The trailer can carry the rescue boat with five people on
board.
“We plan to build a bigger frame
to carry a bigger boat to rescue more victims,” he added.
