Fire..Fire...Burning Bright!

Hundreds of times we have all had our mothers tell us, do not play with FIRE! But I guess the airport authorities that set dry bushes on fire along the runway to clear the area of the Lilabari in Arunachal Pradesh had forgotten this lesson.



Strong winds fanned the fire and spread it to several parts of the airport campus along with the 13 Assam Police Battalion adjacent to the airport engulfing the areas!

Panic-stricken airport authorities called in the fire brigade to douse the fire which was brought under control after several hours.

How incompetent do the airport authority have to be to not get that wind conditions prevalent in the area can make the fire go out of control?!
