KUALA NERUS, June 2025
The current hot and dry weather significantly increases the risk of summer fires. Just recently, a major fire in Kampung Teluk Ketapang destroyed a home and three vehicles in a matter of minutes.
This tragic incident is a powerful reminder — that the heatwave season doesn’t just bring discomfort, but serious fire hazards.
Why Hot Weather Is a Serious Fire Threat
-
High temperatures make flammable materials like wood, fabric, and plastic ignite more easily.
-
Electrical wiring can overheat, especially in older homes, and trigger short circuits.
-
Dry soil and grass act as fuel for fires, particularly in rural or village areas.
-
Vehicle fuel tanks can become dangerously hot when parked under direct sunlight.
Fire Prevention Tips for the Summer Season
-
Turn Off All Electrical Appliances When Not in Use
Switch off fans, air conditioners, and water heaters when you leave home. -
Avoid Open Burning
Don’t burn rubbish or dry grass in open areas without proper supervision or a valid permit. -
Inspect and Replace Old Electrical Wiring
Hire a licensed electrician to conduct a safety audit—especially if your home is over 10 years old. -
Keep Vehicles Away from Flammable Materials
Avoid parking near dry leaves, gas cylinders, or construction supplies. -
Store Flammable Liquids in Cool, Covered Areas
Items like cooking oil, thinner, or petrol should be kept in shaded, well-ventilated areas away from sunlight.
Conclusion
The summer heat doesn’t just affect your health—it endangers your safety, property, and loved ones. Take action now: inspect your home, minimize fire risks, and stay alert during high-risk periods.
