Question

3. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow .

Long ago, there were no firemen. When fire broke out, everybody became a fire-fighter. People formed human chains (they still do if required) and passed buckets of water from a well or a pond to the blaze. Now there are laws about building construction which ensure that space is left between buildings to reduce the fire risk. Every new building, especially a public place, must ensure observance of fire prevention norms. Bands of fire fighting workers with special equipment, known as fire brigades, are there to put out fires. Fire-fighters are highly trained people. They possess many skills. They cut off electricity supply, knock down dangerous walls, spray water and other materials to bring fire under control.
They are also trained in first aid so that they can help people suffering from bums.
