Dubai-(Puntland Mirror) Garowe Mayor Hassan Mohamed Ise began a visit to Dubai, UAE over the weekend, seeking fire trucks, a secretary said on Tuesday.
The secretary of the Mayor, Towfiq Bashir Nour told Puntland Mirror the mayor met with Puntland expatriates and UAE officials, and he urged them to take part in the contribution of fire trucks for Garowe.
Towfiq added that the Mayor had taken the decision to search for fire trucks after the city witnessed a wave of blazes in the past few years.
In late January, a huge blaze destroyed petrol stations in Garowe, killing at least seven.
