Bomba Miri kept busy as a bee in hive-removal operations

Bomba personnel set the hornet’s nest at Taman Hilltop on fire.

MIRI (Jan 9): Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) personnel here were kept busy on Saturday, responding to two hive-removal emergency calls.

Bomba Miri acting chief Ahmad Nizam Sapaiee said a team of three from the Miri Central station was dispatched to a house at Taman Hilltop after receiving a call from a male complainant at 8.15pm.

“The operation commander reported that the team found a nest in a tree outside the house compound and they managed to destroy it by spraying insecticide and setting it on fire,” he said in a statement.
