The Fire Service and Civil Defence has launched an e-fire license system. The aim is to make public service access easier and faster.

The initiative was inaugurated on April 30 at 3:00 PM in a ceremony held at the conference room of the EOC Building in Mirpur-10, Dhaka. It was formally launched by the Director General of the department, Brigadier General Muhammad Zahed Kamal.

The opening remarks were delivered by Lieutenant Colonel Md. Mahmudul Hasan, Team Leader of the e-Fire License Implementation Team and Director (Operations and Maintenance). He said the digital system will reduce time, hassle, and increase transparency in service delivery.
