Thanks, fire brigade and DESA
We are accustomed to listening to such news that the fire fighting team arrived late and did very little to extinguish the fire, and many such things which degrade the reputation of the fire brigade. On Friday (15.05.09), there was a fire on electric poles adjacent to our residence in Mohammadpur.
I heard people knocking at our door when I was enjoying IPL on TV. Worried, I saw the fire turning out to be a disastrous one and with the help of my driver and a relative we could somehow managed to stop its spreading. I found thousands of people watching the deadly fire and our struggle to extinguish it.
My relative called the fire fighting team and within five minutes I could hear their siren and they came and brought the fire under control. They were accompanied by a DESA team which really surprised me. I would like to thank both the fire fighting team of Asad Gate and the DESA team for their quick response and active approach to help us.
I wish they had enough equipment to help extinguish fire at any level.
