PORTALJABAR, DISTRICT. GARUT - Acting. The Regent of Garut, Barnas Adjidin led a morning rally at the Garut Regency Fire Department (Disdamkar) Yard which is located on Jalan Patriot, Tarogong Kidul District, Garut Regency, Friday (31/5/2023).

On this occasion, the Acting Regent of Garut expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the Head of the Garut Regency Disdamkar, Eded Komara Nugraha, who has entered retirement. According to Barnas, thanks to Eded's dedication, Disdamkar can run well in carrying out services to the community.

On the other hand, Acting The Regent of Garut also reminded him about the duties and functions of the fire brigade.

He explained that Garut Regency is a very large area, so the threat of fire often lurks in the community.

Currently, continued Barnas, Garut Disdamkar already has Technical Implementation Units (UPT) in several areas, but according to him this number is not yet sufficient considering that Garut Regency has a very large area.

"Therefore, we have to study in the future how many UPTs there should be based on the rational area and population. I see that it is impossible for such a big problem to be handled by a hundred people, this is difficult," continued Barnas.

The Acting Regent of Garut revealed that it is possible that a fire could occur at two or three points, therefore the Garut Fire Department must make efforts so that fire extinguishing services can run optimally.

"If it's slow, the fire can't be put out, and the house that caught fire or the facility that burned was destroyed because we were late in providing assistance to a location that might have been far away," he continued.

Finally, he revealed that Fire Department does not only solve fire problems. People often want help from other problems such as wasp nests, rings that cannot be removed, and several other things. (Diskominfo Garut/Fauziah)
