Continue from Happy Wesak Day
Since dah takde apa nak makan kat situ, so aku pun start kereta balik, merayau-rayau la sekitar tu, tengok2 mana plak nak isi perut yg dah mula berceloteh yg bukan2 ni. So pusing2 la aku sehingga patah balik ke Tmn Medan. Masa kat PJS4 tu, tetiba aku ternampak kepulan asap hitam banyak datangnya dari area PJS2. So aku dgn lajunyalah pegi ke area tu, tengok2 memang betul ada kebakaran. Dah penuh dah org ramai berkerumun di tempat kejadian. Bomba tak nampak batang hidung pun lagi. Siren pun takdak dengar.
Rumah yg terbakar tu, rumah teres 2 tkt. Risau gak aku nengok sbb kalau korang familiar area Tmn Medan, Tmn Dato Harun tu, korang taulah camana rapatnya rumah2 teres kat situ. Btw, aku pun park Wira tepi jalan, dan turun pegi sedekat yg boleh armed with my N73. Aku pun tangkaplah beberapa kpg gambar yg aku siarkan di sini. Apapun, aku nak pay tribute to all the Bomba Sukarelawan PJS2 Taman Medan yg bertungkus-lumus cuba mengawal kebakaran dari merebak ke rumah sebelah kiri dan kanan. Dgn bantuan orgramai, termasuklah aku yg sekadar tarik2 hos air tu, mereka mencuba sedaya-upaya dan telah bertindak cemerlang sbg benteng pertama melawan api sebelum ketibaan bomba sebenar yg aku agak-agak sampai almost after half an hour later. I tell u, without those sukarelawans, the consequences would be far far more terrible!!
Can u see the black smokes?
It can be seen from miles away!
This pic shows the Bomba Sukarelawan PJS2 Taman Medan, equipped with a 4WD pick-up converted to be some kind of fire-engine, complete with sirens, water pumps and hoses. They were the first ones on the scene and they were indeed the real heroes on that day!
Do u have ur own Sukarelawan Bomba in ur area? It is worth ur life to bring it up to ur community leader and start planning to establish one.
Trying very hard to contain the fire!
Do u notice how close the houses are to each other?
Luckily, no one was hurt in the incident, and the house's owner and his family had managed to bring out large portions of their belongings before the fire grew bigger.
The fire apparently started at the upper level of the house. I heard someone said that the fire occured because the children in the house were playing with ... fire? Maybe they meant matchsticks, or lighter, or candles, or something else, I was not very sure.
Moral of the story: Never let our children play with fire, or any fire-inducing stuff. Api semasa kecil menjadi kawan, bila besar menjadi lawan yang tak mudah ditundukkan!!
Finally, the real Bomba dan Penyelamat arrived, rather late I might say.
Notwithstanding more than half of their job were already done by those brave Sukarelawans, they still have to further extinguish completely all the fire remnants and then conduct the follow-up investigation and for that, I would like to also pay tribute to these unsung heroes.
Actually, I did shoot a video using my N73 capturing the whole event, but in the commotion, I somehow adjusted the setting to be with no audio!! Damn!! So if I were to include it here, you would be watching a video without sounds!! What good is that? Damn!! Damn!! Damn!! Anyway, I left the scene and singgah at one of the kedais around there for nasi ayam as my long overdue lunch.
I felt sorry for the unfortunate family, my sympathies to them and I hope they have the strength to go through the bad experience and rebuild their lives after this. May Allah help them. Amin.
After finishing lunch, I drove back to my apt. Sebelum naik to my apt kat tkt 5 tu, singgah and lepak kejap kat gerai tomyam my friend located behind the apt blocks. Then I went to have a haircut in my favorite barber shop near the gerai tomyam, and guess what, I heard one customer in there was telling the barber that a gruesome murder had been committed at one of the many apartments near my place. He said that a female body of unknown race was just found with no head, no arms, and no legs. In other words, the head, both arms and both legs were chopped off from the body and the body parts were nowhere to be found! MasyaAllah! What is happening in our country now?? May Allah save us all. Amin.
In the end, pheewwwwwwww, what a Wesak Day!!
