    Even in these modern days, our brave fire fighters are using the same old uniform, rather than the new safety gear. There are so many companies in Mangalore, cant anyone sponsor the latest safety gear to these brave men.

    Lack of trainings to drivers in handling cases like this and non-availability of fire extinguishers in trucks is the main concern. RTO should step up its effort in training and make it mandatory to all truck owners to keep one fully charged fire extinguishers in trucks. This will at least bring down the damage to the valuable trucks as well as goods laden on it.
