3-digit hotline No 102 launched in Fire Service
Staff Correspondent
A new 3-digit hotline number 102 has been launched experimentally in the Dhaka Central Control Room of the Fire Service and Civil Defense Directorate.
To receive emergency services, this service is being accepted from any part of Bangladesh initially from all operators other than T&T.
This service will also be available from T&T soon. It should be noted that the 11-digit phone number 02223355555 and the 5-digit hotline number 16163 of the control room will also be operational. However, after 31 December 2024, 16163 will be closed; From then only 102 hotline number will be operational.
Fire Service and Civil Defense provide service on information basis. One of the means of providing information to service recipients is telephone. A 5-digit hotline number 16163 was introduced earlier as the 11-digit telephone number was somewhat difficult to remember during an emergency.
To make access to services easier, the Fire Service took the initiative to launch a 3-digit 102 hotline number.
People from all walks of life are requested to publicize the new hotline number 102 of the fire service in order to facilitate the quick assistance of the people in danger.
