[7] Kampong Petani, originally located along a small river that is now the site of the Fire and Rescue Department in Tutong town, has evolved into a significant hub within the area.

[8] Its strategic position along the riverbank, connecting the sea and inland regions via the Tutong River, made it a key point for trade and daily affairs.

[12] Significant growth and modernisation followed in 1918 with the establishment of the village's first Malay vernacular school, marking the beginning of its expansion and eventual renaming to Tutong.

This period saw the establishment of important institutions such as schools, shops, and government offices, which elevated the village's status to that of Tutong town.

[14] By 1968, the original location of Kampong Petani was repurposed for a new fire station constructed by the government along the Tutong River near the market.

Fully operational by 19 April 1969, the fire station was staffed with 104 qualified firefighters and equipped to serve the town and its surrounding areas, marking another milestone in the evolution of the village.
