Three jumbo cushions for using in the rescue operation during any fire incident have been handed over to the Department of Fire Service and Civil Defence.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina handed over those to Director General of the Fire Service and Civil Defence Md Sajjad Hossain at her office on Sunday.
The fire-resistant cushions were made of fibreglass which could be made usable in just a minute.
Each of the cushions was purchased for Tk 5 million (50 lakh), UNB reports.
The cushions are electrically non-conductive and could be used for transporting hazardous goods without vibration and absorbing spills.
