The firefighting at the dumping yard of the Kochi Corporation at Brahmapuram since Friday has driven home the significance of the Kerala State Civil Defence volunteers in assisting the Fire and Rescue Services Department in dealing with emergencies.
As many as 53 civil defence volunteers drawn from the limits of 13 out of the 18 fire stations in the district actively assisted firefighters at Brahmapuram where a major blaze broke out at the dumping yard on Friday afternoon. Having turned up around 2 p.m., they were active till around 3 a.m. on Saturday.
