LANGKAWI: Hero, a 13-episode television drama based on the daily challenges faced by firemen and rescuers, will be aired by Radio Television Malaysia beginning August.
The drama series would feature several famous actors, said Mohammad Mentek, secretary-general of the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry.
“Real-life Fire and Rescue Department personnel are doing the stunts in this drama,” he told reporters after visiting the Langkawi Fire and Rescue Department here Saturday.
Production began in October last year.
He added that the ministry was now in discussion with KRU Productions to produce a film based on the working life of firefighters.
