Firemen come up with novel way to rescue victims

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.
