KUCHING: Nine volunteers were accredited Airport Fire and Rescue Service (AFRS) auxillary fire officers at a ceremony here on Wednesday.
Malvyn Kaweh Mereten, 19, from Kampung Gaya Baru, Lawas, expressed his happiness at being accredited as one of the auxillary fire officers.
“I hope I will be able to assist the people who are in need of help, especially those who are in an accident, conflicts or in need of medical assistance.
