A bushfire destroys a bushes and a plantation in a bushfire
which occurred recently (Sunday 6 April 2014) in Telisai Village, Tutong. The fire which
occurred around 4pm is suspected due to the hot and dry weather condition in the
area. A team of firefighters in a fire engine from Tutong Fire Station rushes
to the scene after receiving emergency call from the villagers. They had to
take swift action in order to prevent the fire affecting several houses at the
area. The fire also caused the nearby main road covered by smoke. The
firefighters managed to control and extinguish the blaze several minutes later.</div>

the affected area using the portable pump and monitor. Fortunately there are

the smoke from the peat swamp fire as it can cause limited visibility to the
nearby road if the fire source is not controlled and flooded. They also will be on standby at the site in
the morning in order to control the blaze and minimise the smoke emitted from
the fire. While at night they had to hold the operation due to the risk from
the terrain and dangerous creatures such as snake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
