Mbarara City Traders have resolved to purchase a fire fighting truck. The decision comes after a recent fire outbreak along Maj Victor Bwana road that in which Timber & Timber products worth billions were destroyed.

In an interview with our reporter, Chairperson of Mbarara City Traders Association, Sezi Mwijuka confirmed that as traders, they resolved to purchase a fire fighting truck since the traders and citizens have often blamed the losses incurred during fires on delayed response of the police fire brigade.
