Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61664, member: 636"] Penang Fire and Rescue Department teams successfully located two Australian hikers who became lost near Happy Rock at Freedom Hill in Batu Ferringhi. Patrick Philippe Chung, 44, and his wife Patricia Wong, 45, had wandered off hiking trails in the forest area. Rescue workers from Bagan Jermal Fire Station used WhatsApp location data shared by the stranded couple to pinpoint their position. Local residents assisted firefighters during the search efforts. Six emergency personnel participated in the rescue mission under an operations commander who assessed conditions before deploying teams. The Australians suffered no injuries during their ordeal in the wilderness. Authorities transferred the couple to police custody after bringing them down from the hillside. John Sagun Francis from the Fire and Rescue Operations Division confirmed the operation concluded at 6:41 PM. [/QUOTE]
