A houseowner at Simpang 1747, Kampong Tanjong Nangka was shocked yesterday (9 September 2011, Friday) to found out a snake trying to enter his house. The incident which occurred around 2:40pm caused the houseowner immediately alerted the Fire and Rescue personnel to catch the poisonous reptile.
Upon receiving the emergency call at around 2:45pm a team of firefighters and a fire engine from Jerudong Fire Station led by ABK Abu Bakar rushed to the said house. However upon arrival the firefighters the snake managed to slip away to the nearby bushes.
According to the houseowner who wished to remain anonymous said “The snake is small and had a flat head (cobra), when we see it the snake was at the landscape plants planted near the house.”
Meanwhile ABK Abu Bakar said “Although Cobra is poisonous than phyton but cobra tend to be more complicated to catch as it is swift and small in shape and it also can slip through tight spaces such as cracks. While phyton will tend to stay at a particular place thus making it easier to catch.
In relation to this the Brunei Fire and Rescue Department (BFRD) urged members of the public to always call the emergency hotline 995 if they witness dangerous animals such as snakes and always trim or clean their landscape from wild bushes or any landscape plants which can attract dangerous animals.
