KULIM: Firemen trying to save a house on fire at Taman Mahsuri in Padang Serai had a shock when a man with a metal rod stormed out of a room and tried to stop them.
The young man, clad only in a pair of jeans, charged at them through the flames to keep them from entering his home.
“It was an unforgettable sight,” said Kulim fire and rescue station senior fire assistant Supt Mohd Yusri Yusoff. “We believe he was of unsound mind.”
The firemen managed to calm the man down after a few minutes and he was then handed over to the police.
Supt Mohd Yusri said the station got the distress call at 8.06am yesterday and 10 firemen, led by three senior officers, in one engine responded.
Another fire engine was rushed from Tasek Gelugor as backup.
