Synopsis:
The Fire Department of Pakistan inherited its first Fire Department Building in 1947 right after partition. The Central Fire Brigade was later called ‘Al-Markaz’ and was located near the Civil Hospital Karachi. The building has since been renovated only in 1976. The Karachi Fire Department lost its first fireman in 1958. For the first time, we intend to trace the lives of a few daring firemen of the Karachi Fire Department (City Fire Service – CFS) and see how they cope with the emotional and physical stresses of keeping a city of 15 million out an
inferno .
On 15th January 2007, eight firemen were buried and burned alive in a burning cotton factory at the Site Industrial Area of Karachi. We explore first hand the emotional turmoil which these families had to deal with and how some of the firemen barely escaped death . As the firemen talk about the uncertainty of their lives and the medical services they get, the viewers will get a unique insight into the lives of these selfless individuals .
