The government of Bangladesh has decided to transfer the Fire Service and Civil Defence from the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief. Officials confirmed that the move aims to improve coordination in disaster response and ensure unified command during emergencies. The Fire Service has agreed to the separation, and the process is currently underway under the Prime Minister’s directive.
According to ministry sources, the current structure often causes coordination gaps during major disasters, as multiple agencies operate separately. The restructuring seeks to establish single-point leadership for faster decision-making and more effective action. Plans are also being developed to integrate volunteer groups such as CPP, Rover Scouts, BNCC, and Red Crescent under one coordinated framework.
The Disaster Management Ministry is preparing to keep 100,000 volunteers ready in Dhaka and surrounding areas for earthquake and large-scale disaster response. Officials expect that bringing the Fire Service under the ministry will enhance efficiency and ensure quicker, more organized emergency services.
