Are they called accidental or short circuit fires any ways?????.think wisely who matter.
I lived there and when I called fire brigade, according to them fire tenders already left for the location, but they reached at scene after more then 30 to 40 minutes. We should have questioned the fire department efficiency and average response time.
City's Fire Official and Building Code inspectors must get out there and check if Fire protection & scape routes rules are being followed.
