Bush's security personnel ask Mumbai Fire Brigade if it can combat chemical and nuclear warfare
Mumbai Fire Brigade officials were stumped at the volley of questions thrown at them by the personal security guards of former US President George Bush, before his arrival in Mumbai on Saturday afternoon.
The fire and security preparedness of both the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) has been cause for worry for Bush's security personnel. Almost a year after the 26/11 attacks, the Mumbai Fire Brigade is yet to acquire crucial equipment to combat fire emergencies during terror situations. Last week, a joint meeting was held between the ex-President's security officials, the Mumbai police and the fire brigade to discuss the security arrangements in the city during the time Bush would be here. The fire department representatives were asked six questions out of which three put them in a fix.
