Firemen to take three to four days to battle Kuala Langat peat fire

SHAH ALAM: Efforts to put out peat fires in Kuala Langat will take about three to four days.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director (operations) Mohd Sani Harul said areas such as the Kuala Langat Selatan Forest Reserve, Tanjung Sepat and Banting, are among the identified target areas.

"There are still small fires spotted in these areas and it will take about three to four days to put out the blaze," he said.

Several days ago, parts of the Klang Valley was shrouded in haze due to the forest and peat fires in central Selangor and Pahang.

This was caused by the extreme hot and dry weather brought about by the El Nino phenomenon.
