为救难而牺牲!马国六名消防拯救人员,于昨晚进入雪兰莪蒲种一个废矿湖,尝试拯救一名失踪者,不幸被急流冲走,全数罹难。

当时,消防局在昨日傍晚5时,接获民众投报,指蒲种Taman Putra Perdana地区,有一名17岁少年失足坠落出口水闸门,遭急流冲至废矿湖,下落不明。

消防部门随即动员莎阿南、赛博再也和巴生消防局,超过15名消防员前往现场搜救。

消防部队在晚上8时55分抵达现场,六名来自巴生港口消防局和莎阿南消防局的潜水队,以蛙人装备潜入水中搜救。

六人身上都连接绑着安全绳索,但是,矿湖中激流汹涌,水流太急,六名消防人员瞬间被卷入激流漩涡中,即便岸上同僚极力拉住绳索,但还是拯救失败。

同僚费了半个小时把溺水消防员拉上岸,但经过抢救,已回天乏术。

六名殉职消防员,年龄介于34至24岁:

马国消防拯救局随后表示,这是当局有史以来首次出现最多消防员殉职溺毙的事件。至于失踪的17岁少年仍在搜救中,至今仍未寻获。

六名消防员的遗体也在今早送往莎阿南消防局,由长官和同僚们致最后敬礼,再运返家乡。
