The Aidilfitri takbir that echoed signifies victory for Muslims, but for personnel at the Operation Centre, Fire and Rescue Department, the responsibility of monitoring national security remains a priority. Behind the scenes of the celebration, the personnel are loyal at the control desk to respond to every emergency call. This is how busy the personnel of the Fire and Rescue Department are in responding to emergency calls. Despite their busy schedules, the personnel involved still have the opportunity to celebrate Syawal but in a different atmosphere.
The task of coordinating assistance and receiving emergency calls not knowing time or festive season. For the Women Firefighters at the Control Centre, leaving their loved ones behind during Hari Raya to ensure that every call from the public is answered requires great patience. Although there is a feeling of sadness, the trust towards the community is still carried out with full dedication.
Years of experience keep the personnel loyal to their duties during Hari Raya, but the memory of handling emergency calls while others were celebrating leaves a deep emotional impact.
Although it is sad to leave their families on Hari Raya, they felt proud to be able to serve the community and the department. Whether working behind the scenes as communicators, or at the station as rescuers, every drop of their sweat is for the sake of the peace of their beloved country.
