Metropolis Spokesman Gyanendra Karki said problems have been faced to control fire within the Kathmandu valley for lack of fire engines, and therefore, it is being brought.



According to Spokesman Karki the fire engine will be brought with the cooperation of the Italian government. Likewise, another fire engine will be brought in cooperation of Britain.



The fire engine from Britain will arrive next month. This will be the most modern so far. It is said that small and modern fire engines than the large ones are necessary.



The initiative was made with Britain as a fire two weeks ago could not be controlled in Asan.



They will be instrumental in populous areas like Asan and New Road in Kathmandu.



The one in Tribhuwan International Airport provided by the Austrian government is the most modern so far, but it faces problems for mobilizing in the Kathmandu valley as it needs wide roads.
