Fighting fire with knowledge: Fire and Rescue Dept to establish 38 community fire learning centres over three years

PUTRAJAYA, July 6 — The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) is aiming to set up 38 new Community Fire Learning Centres (CFLCs) across the country within the next three years
Its director-general, Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad, said currently, seven CFLCs are already operating at several locations: the Jalan Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue Station in Kuala Lumpur; JBPM Johor Headquarters; Kuantan Station in Pahang; Ayer Keroh Station in Melaka; Precinct 14 Station in Putrajaya; and the Batu Lintang and Serian Stations in Sarawak.
He said these centres represent a shift in the function of fire stations - from being solely emergency response facilities to becoming hubs for public education on fire safety and rescue awareness.
“CFLCs provide a platform for the community to visit fire stations, learn about safety, and gain practical knowledge in fire prevention,” he told reporters after officiating the Precinct 14 CFLC today.
Also present was Datuk Izwan Hasli Mohd Ibrahim, chief executive officer and director of Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd (PJH).
According to Nor Hisham, all CFLCs will offer interactive modules such as fire extinguishing demonstrations, rescue tool usage, and hands-on emergency drills.
“These initiatives are crucial to fostering a culture of safety as a shared responsibility, not just the tasks of firefighters alone.
“CFLCs will also function as inclusive, community-friendly learning centres offering experiential education, with child-friendly approaches and engaging, outdoor-style activities,” he said.
The CFLC initiative is part of JBPM’s proactive efforts to strengthen its connection with the public through structured fire safety education. It also supports the department’s broader mission to make fire stations more people-oriented.
These centres play a vital role in educating the public, especially students and young people, about fire safety, prevention, and emergency preparedness.
The Precinct 14 CFLC was developed through a collaboration between JBPM and PJH, reflecting a shared commitment to community well-being. — Bernama

LONDON, July 2 — Wildfires have killed two people in Spain and two others have died in France because of a heatwave that has gripped Europe and forced the closure of a nuclear reactor at a Swiss power plant.
With scorching temperatures again today, Spanish officials said a wildfire in Catalonia had killed two people yesterday and France's energy minister reported two deaths with a direct link to the heatwave, with 300 others taken to hospital.
Italy issued red alerts for 18 cities because of the extreme heat and Turkey has been tackling wildfires in what meteorologists say is an “exceptional” heatwave because it has come so early in Europe’s summer.
The blaze in Torrefeta in the Catalonia region of Spain destroyed several farms and affected an area stretching for about 40 kilometres, officials said. It was largely contained though more wind and thunderstorms were expected today.
“The fire was extremely violent and erratic due to storms and strong winds, generating a convection cloud that complicated extinguishing efforts,” the fire service said.
Authorities in the Spanish city of Barcelona said yesterday they were also looking into whether the death of a street sweeper at the weekend was heat-related.
Spain experienced its hottest June on record this year, and France had its hottest June since 2003, Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said.
Weather forecaster Meteo France said red alerts remained for several areas of central France, but that heat was easing in the west, though intense thunderstorms with possible heavy bursts of rainfall were expected in many parts of the east.
Temperature highs were expected around 39 degrees Celsius, with up to 34°C in Paris, and 36°C to 38°C in Strasbourg, Lyon, Grenoble and Avignon.
In Italy, Florence was expected to bear the brunt of the heat with a top temperature of 39°C during the day. Red alerts were issued in 18 cities, including Milan and Rome.
There was a risk of violent and sudden rain and storms, particularly along the central Appennine mountain region and Sardinia and Sicily.
Swiss utility Axpo shut down one reactor unit at the Beznau nuclear power plant and halved output at another yesterday because of the high temperature of river water.
Water is used for cooling and other purposes at nuclear power plants, and restrictions were expected to continue as temperatures are monitored.
Scientists say greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels are a cause of climate change, with deforestation and industrial practices being other contributing factors.
