Fire fighter or coila gari?


                Photo- police officer showing demo, how to use extinguisher during fire emergency

It was great to have the people from fire departments at the Academy, who explained briefly regarding the fires and its types. They also elaborated precisely on types of extinguishers and certain safety measures that one should take during calamities.
While the officer was explaining he cited a joke which infact is a reality, saying that they get calls from different places during fire outbreaks and they try to get there as fast as possible. Because the incidents don't happen in the place we want to, nor do we wish it happens but without understanding the external factors people blame the fire fighters for being late.
They call the vehicle as "coila gari" which means coal vehicle because it arrives late at the scene, at times after everything is being burnt or at least maximum being destroyed. But, the very first thing we must understand is the distance between the incident spot and the fire safety station before putting all blames to them. We must consider the limiting factors like distance, time and speed. It is very easy to say but it is not so easy as we imagine things.
Therefore, let us understand that there are certain barriers and we must have patience for everything which otherwise would create chaos and nothing else.
However let us first be very mindful in making our homes, schools, communities and environment safe so that we all continue to live in peace, harmony and glory. Our slightest carelessness may ruin our lives, is so meaningful and precious that we cannot take it for granted. Be safe...
