SRI AMAN – Firefighters from the Sri Aman Fire and Rescue Station successfully carried out a special service operation to eliminate a wasp nest from a residential property in Tawai Ili Village on 1 May 2026. The incident was reported at 8.40 pm, prompting a swift response from the Bravo Team.
The operation was led by PB Remio Anak Babah, who commanded a small team equipped with a Nissan Urvan van.
The crew travelled approximately 12 kilometres to reach the site. Upon arrival, the team assessed the situation and discovered a wasp nest located inside the toilet of the complainant’s house.
To ensure safety, the commander instructed the team to wear full personal protective equipment before commencing the removal.
Using three units of Baygon insecticide sprayers, the firefighters neutralised the insects and destroyed the nest.
After confirming that no further danger remained, the team concluded the operation and returned to the station.
The report was lodged by a resident named Pn Crizzon and received by UN 1643 Karl Elliot. No other agencies were involved in the operation.
While the task was completed successfully, the team noted a challenge during the mission due to the absence of GIRN coverage, which limited communication capabilities.
The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department regularly undertakes such special service operations, which extend beyond fire emergencies to include public safety interventions.
These services often involve handling hazardous insects, snakes, and other wildlife that pose risks to residents.
In Sarawak, similar operations have been reported in both urban and rural areas, reflecting the department’s commitment to community welfare.
Authorities continue to remind residents to report dangerous insect infestations promptly, as wasp nests can pose serious health risks.
Stings from certain species may cause severe allergic reactions, and nests located near homes increase the likelihood of accidental encounters.
Fire and Rescue teams are trained to manage these situations safely, reducing risks to the public.
Community members have expressed appreciation for the department’s responsiveness, noting that such interventions help maintain peace of mind and safeguard households.
The Sri Aman Fire and Rescue Station reaffirmed its readiness to respond to similar incidents, underscoring its role in protecting both lives and property.
