While attending the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Academy in Kuala Kubu Bharu, firefighters from 15 countries had the opportunity to participate in many classes geared toward international structural firefighting. The academy, organized by the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department, offered many practical and theoretical exercises, including a particularly challenging exercise related to oil spill fires.
