With the recent fire incident on May 9 where a residential building at Peren town-Kipeuzang tri-junction was completely gutted and reduced to ashes, the Peren Students’ Union (PSU) has demanded for stationing of fire brigade vehicle along with fire personnel at Peren town in the interest of public service.
A press release from PSU advisor Rampauyi Ndang stated that, on May 9 the gutted building could not be protected but spreading of fire to neighboring houses was contained by timely intervention of the public. PSU stated that so far public of Peren town and surrounding villages “till today didn’t feel the existence of fire brigade department in the district as their intervention has never been witnessed” although Fire Brigade department is actually stationed at New DC Complex Peren “where public habitation is zero.”
PSU therefore along with the general public has made an ardent appeal to the appropriate authority to look into the matter at the earliest.
