The Fire brigade in Eastern Province has complained of using outdated fire tenders.
Provincial Focal Point Chief Fire Officer Fackson Mbewe told Breeze News that only Chipata Municipal Council has a Morden fire tender.
Mr. Mbewe says that this has created challenges in situations where other councils are unable to attend to emergency cases because of outdate fire tender.
He further explained that such cases are attended to by Chipata Fire Brigade officers.
Government has however, indicated that it has procured 14 fully equipped modern fire engines to be distributed to different councils in the country.
