Scouts in firefighting

A fire broke out in Bangabazar, the capital of Bangladesh. As a result, more than 5000 shops were burnt. Many people lost their livelihoods. Many forces including the fire service came to extinguish the fire. Being proud members of Bangladesh Scouts, we have been working to help them put out the fire. We have tried our best to save the dream and livelihood of the shopkeepers.
Many forces and voluntary organizations, including the Fire Service and Civil Defence, Bangladesh Army, Navy, Air Force, and other voluntary organizations helped in the fire fighting. We scouts did their best. Finally we were able to put out the fire. It was implemented in Dhaka's Bangabazar market.
Thousands of people have lost their lives in the fire. We tried to help them by extinguishing the fire. Maybe I could not save many people's shops but I was able to save many people's wealth. People affected by the fire were mentally broken. To boost their morale we tried to help them financially according to our ability.
By implementing this project, we learned what kind of mental disorders many people who have lost their support have. Therefore, we will try our best to boost their morale and support them financially and develop the project further.
