The Fire Service DG said, “We are working on various methods to deal with such disasters with well-trained manpower and modern equipment.”
“We may have trained manpower, and equipment can be bought, but will we be able to reach places like Old Dhaka?”
“Another thing we must keep in mind is that we have overhead power lines as well as an underground system for sewage and gas connections. What will happen if an earthquake occurs?”
“Will the utility systems of today be a threat to our lives tomorrow?”
Utility lines should have safety features that automatically shut down the system in case of shocks to avoid fire incidents,” said Main Uddin.
