Summary:
While blocks A and B are 50 years old, the main building of the fire station – Block C – is over 80 years old. According to Chief Fire Officer M F Dastoor, this was the 20th such incident in the past few years. Since the shops below have not been cleared and the Fire Department is still using the premises, it cannot be demolished. We are still here because firemen and shop owners did not want to vacate the premises MF Dastoor, Chief Fire OfficerIt took the roof to fall down, quite literally, for personnel of theFire and Emergency(AFES) to agree to vacate the ‘structurally unsound’ Danapith Fire Station. The 25 families residing in Block C will stay there till the other two blocks are rebuilt..
