The Hon. Stepni Fernando
The member raised a supplementary question on fire safety, noting the absence of an on-site fire unit despite the presence of many factories and nearby settlements. She asked what measures are being taken to address the risk that fire assistance from Colombo, Gampaha or Negombo may arrive too late to prevent spread to surrounding villages.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary: There is no on-site fire unit though many factories and surrounding settlements exist. If a fire breaks out, assistance must come from Colombo, Gampaha or Negombo, by which time it could spread to nearby villages. What measures are being taken on fire safety?
