In my present series of articles about the neglected heritage structures of our city, our more than a hundred-and-ten-year-old Fire Brigade Building at Saraswathipuram also deserves a mention. Although the front portion of it collapsed way back in the year 2019, due to the ravages of age, rain and neglect, it has been left in a limbo without the damage having been repaired over the two full years that have gone by. It is not that the rest of the building is unworthy of being preserved or restored like the Lansdowne building, because it is still very much in use by our firefighting department.
