In these trying times, a slew of good samaritans from SoBo and beyond came to the rescue of firefighters at the Fort fire station, who have been on 24-hour duty for the past two days and were finding it hard to find food amid the lockdown.

Residents of Cuffe Parade, Colaba and beyond came together on Monday to help them. SoBo resident Haresh Hathiramani said, "We learnt that at least 70 firefighters at Fort station have been diligently doing their day and night shifts to safeguard us. Unfortunately, they were finding it difficult to access food for the past two days. We requested residents of Cuffe Parade, Colaba and Colaba Post Office, through WhatsApp, to contribute grains and vegetables for these firefighters."
