Fire safety in UAE

The fire incident in a villa in Sharjah’s Al Qadsiya area was both horrible and tragic. Despite the best efforts of civil defence some precious lives were lost including a prominent person like Ameera Bin Karam, a pioneering figure in women’s empowerment in the Middle East. The issue of fire safety is very important. In my opinion people must do their utmost to make sure that the fire safety equipment and other such tools are updated and checked properly. One must be prepared for such eventualities but prevention is always better. — Ella B, Sharjah
