Quick action by the firemen from the Serdang Fire and Rescue Department saved the lives of a mother and her son who were trapped in their burning house in Serdang.

The incident occurred in the early morning when the department received a call about a fire at a double-storeyy house in Taman Serdang Raya at 5:35 a.m. Upon arriving at the scene, the firemen from the Serdang and Bandar Tun Hussein Onn fire stations discovered that a 62-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son were trapped on the top floor of the house.

The house was already engulfed in flames, making it difficult for the victims to escape. Facing a race against time, the firemen quickly assessed the situation and devised a plan to rescue the trapped individuals. They were forced to break open the window grilles in order to reach the victims, who were semiconscious at that point. The firemen managed to reach the victims and administer emergency medical aid, including oxygen, which helped them regain consciousness before the medical team arrived.

Thanks to the swift and efficient efforts of the firemen, the mother and son were successfully rescued from the burning house. Their lives were saved, and they were promptly transported to the hospital for further medical treatment and evaluation. The firemen's quick thinking and professional expertise played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the trapped individuals.

The cause of the fire, which destroyed 70% of the house, is still under investigation by the authorities. As of now, the exact reason behind the fire remains unknown. The fire department will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause and prevent similar incidents in the future. This incident serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of our firefighters, who put their lives on the line every day to protect and save others.

Their quick response and effective teamwork were instrumental in rescuing the mother and son from the burning house. Their commitment to their duty is commendable and worthy of praise. This incident also highlights the importance of fire safety measures and the need for everyone to be prepared for emergencies.
