The performance of Kolkata Fire Brigade has been disgraceful and shameful. They are now making up excuses like crowded shops, stock of inflammable materials etc. Their job is to control the fire immediately, even if it is due to above facts. The whole department stinks and there should be a total review and overhaul. The good-for-nothing top echeleon enjoying fat pay checks and facilities need to be sacked and replaced with honest and committed guys who can perform and not crib about obvious things.
