MIRI: Firefighters in the city were called to an unusual emergency on Friday night after a Proton Satria vehicle was accidentally locked from the inside at a petrol station in Desa Senadin here.
The call came in at about 8.04 pm, sending a six-member team from the Lutong Fire and Rescue Station to PETRONAS Desa Senadin, about 6km away.
Firefighters arrived at 8.11 pm and quickly assessed the situation, confirming that a Proton Satria had been locked from the inside.
