This incident happened in today morning in Borivali, Mumbai, India where a big mall was burning hard and there was a lot of panic all over the area. Suddenly Fire-Brigade and ambulance came into picture to control the fire. The mall was so big that fire was not controlled for few hours and after that also there was a lot of smoke every where over there. In this accident only one died, and sadly that man was Fire Fighter, its really shocking to hear this because no ordinary people died and only one firefighter died. There were few injuries who have some part part of the body burnt but no one else died it was due to the efforts of those fire-fighter? I know it is their job to stop fire from spreading and he died in doing so, but is this worth because in our country these jobs are not high paying. Government may declare some particular reward that's it, will his death be remembered in the future, Are these kind of jobs worth? What are you views friends?

hi! Yes, they worth, because this are very responsible jobs, they are not something that everybody can do- being a firefighter means, that you must be brave and ready to sacrifice your own life for someone else's, because firefighter are people, who rescue others from burning buildings, caves, burning cars etc, and every time they risk their own lives. And I don't think they do it for the money. It is the honor to know, that there are people who will be thankful to you to the rest of their lives!

You are right but I am not saying that they are doing this for money, but I am telling that they should be paid a little more then they get now for their brave job of helping others. Thanks for your response. Have a nice life ahead!!

They are brave enough to choose such job. I respect such brave people who working by helping others putting their own life in danger. Forcing will come into picture when these jobs will be paid on high standards.

Well Rakesh ,On one hand I am proud of these people as they give their heart and soul for their job but on other hand i feel sorry for them as they loose their precious life and receive not much for that. I certainly agree with you that they should be given more by the government. Thanks for raising this topic.

Thanks for your early response. I think we should raise salaries of such people so that more brave people can think over it as an adventurous career option. Have a great life ahead!!
