One n only fire station inside the Sylhet Metro city. They are hard working people. Always try to rescue people with less injury. This is surprising the town is getting large day by day but fire fighting station is not increasing. With their limited resources they are ready for 24/7 duty. Sometimes they organise awareness program in school, college and in many government and private office.
