In the DA coalition run Johannesburg, three firefighters were died due to lack of infrastructure, and the question is who will be held responsible?
The Bank of Lisbon Building, which houses several government departments, has been on fire for two days. Three firefighters died in the fire on Wednesday 5 September 2018, while a few people were treated in the hospital for burns and smoke inhalation.
The low water pressure is one of the major reasons why the fire can not be brought under control, which probably contributed to the death of the firefighters.
Questions about the quality of fire fighting equipment are also being asked, while it is well known that the standard of training of firefighters is no longer anywhere near compared with the way it was in the old dispensation.
