How to Obtain Fire License in Bangladesh
A fire license is a mandatory permit required by the Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting Act, 2003 for all factories operating in Bangladesh. This Act lays out regulations for preventing fires, effectively putting out fires, and minimizing the harm and effects of fires. In Bangladesh, Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD) is responsible for issuing fire licenses.
