Clearing the bracnhes despite heavy rains and thunderstorm

ET5 at the scene

Heavy rains and strong winds which occurred tonight (27 April 2011, Wednesday) caused several large tree branches fallen to the road leading to Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Female Residential College. The incident which occurred around 7:00pm caused part of the road blocked and littered with tree branches. A team of firefighters from Berakas in one fire engine responded to the scene to clear the branches and cut some of the tree section in order to prevent more fallen branches. They worked bravely to clear the branches despite the heavy rainfall and thunderstorm. Also responded to the scene are UBD fire marshal personnel and SPSS security which helps to direct the traffic and control the scene. Fortunately the branches did not fall to the nearby parking lot.
