The Fire and Rescue Department (FRD), Malay: Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat (JBP), Jawi: جابتن بومبا دان ڤڽلامت,[1] also known as Brunei Fire and Rescue Department (BFRD),[2] (Malay: Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Brunei – JBPB) is a government agency of Brunei Darussalam, responsible for firefighting, animal rescue, and technical rescue. Bomba is a Malay word derived from the Portuguese bombeiros, which means 'firefighters'. The department's main headquarters are located at Bandar Seri Begawan, in the Brunei-Muara District of the Sultanate of Brunei.
It is the primary and main public service firefighting force in Brunei, though there are other firefighting units run by other government agencies. Furthermore, there are additional private firefighting entities, such as the BSP Fire and Emergency Response service operated by Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP), which own fire stations (along with firefighting vehicles and emergency ambulances) located at Anduki Airfield and Panaga, Belait District.[3] Moreover, they also owned a single Sikorsky S-92 for search and rescue (SaR) operations.[4][5]
995 is the emergency telephone number used to contact the Fire and Rescue service in Brunei.
