State director Saadon Moktar said the officer who did not report for duty, 14 days, was terminated and his whereabouts could not be traced.
"The 11 personnel had their yearly increment withheld and issued a warning," he told reporters during the department's annual parade held at its headquarters here today.
Saadon who presented appreciation certificates to members of the media, fire and rescue volunteers and retiring officers also handed two fire trucks to the Kampung Pelegong, Labu and Kampung Batu 3, Mambau fire and rescue volunteer teams.
