This incident happened in today morning in Borivali, Mumbai, India where a big Shopping Center 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 Shopping Center was so big that fire was not controlled for few hours and after that also there was a lot of smoke 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 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?

You must be proud of your father for his brave work. I know it will always feel great that someone has done something great in his life and we will remember his work and respect him for that. But do you think that all the people whom your father saved remembered him after some years?? Thanks for your response.. Have a great life ahead!!!

This is such tragic news I respect such demanding jobs like fire-fighters and police officers, because they put their own lives on the line in order to protect the lives of people who they don't even know. In my opinion, it kind of makes me feel angry when you see people in sports getting paid millions for kicking a bit of leather around a field for an hour or two, whilst heroic men like fire-fighters and soldiers are struggling to earn enough to pay the rent

Thanks for your response. I think your are right sports-person and celebrities get a lot of money for their work on the other hand people who put their life in danger don't get enough earning as well. If something happens to them who will take care about their family. So these jobs should be paid accordingly.
