He was speaking at the valedictory of the Fire Safety Week held on the premises of the District Fire Office.
Lessons
Mr. Dande said that it would be better if lessons in fire safety were added in the textbooks of high school students and added that all multiplexes, commercial complexes should install firefighting equipment.
