SRI AMAN – Firefighters from the Sri Aman Fire and Rescue Department successfully handled a special service case involving the removal of a bee nest at the State Government Residential Complex, Jalan Kedang, on Wednesday evening, 6 May 2026.
The incident was reported at 8.17pm by a resident, Encik Bolhassan bin Zupklipliee, who contacted the station directly.
The Bravo team was immediately dispatched to the location, which was approximately three kilometres from the fire station.
The operation was led by PBK I (TBK I) Mohd Fadhli bin Buyong, who commanded two vehicles: a Fire Rescue Tender (FRT) Scania BME 7039 with a crew of four and an Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) unit BMY 4446 with two personnel. In total, seven members were involved in the response.
Upon arrival, the team conducted a size-up and identified a bee nest lodged within the roof pipe channel outside the complainant’s bedroom.
Recognising the potential risk to residents, the commander directed his team to wear full personal protective equipment before commencing the removal.
Using a Baygon insecticide sprayer, the firefighters carefully destroyed the nest, ensuring that no further danger remained.
