Firefighting and Rescue services in Malaysia are primarily provided by the Fire and Rescue Department (Malay version only). The professional services offered by the department address incidents and disasters such as fire, leakage/spillage/explosion of dangerous materials, road accidents, air and sea disasters, and control of open burning.

Any incidents requiring the intervention or support of the department should be reported immediately. The public can now dial 999 to report all forms of emergencies and expect their calls to be answered within 10 seconds or after four rings by the 999 Emergency Call Service Centre.

Offshore search and rescue services including the coordination of such operations are also offered by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency. The Maritime Rescue Sub-Centres of this Department provide these services to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Malaysian Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association also provides a wide range of fire and rescue-related services to the public. Their website is a useful point of reference, not only related to their services, but also for information related to safety in the community and the home.
