The Japanese Ambassador to Uganda H. E. Kazuaki Kameda has this morning donated a fire fighting vehicle to Uganda Police Force (UPF).
The director fire prevention and rescue services AIGP Joseph Mugisa has received it on behalf of police.
According to the director fire, the vehicle was tested last week at Ggaba water three station when the plant had flooded due to a fault in the piping system which caused a water backflow that was going to damage generators, motors and other essential equipment at the station.
He noted that with the help of the newly acquired vehicle, the rescue team were able to avert the crisis.
