<p>The deputy chief fire officer, who passed away yesterday, had given Rs 1 lakh from his own pocket to ensure that an injured colleague was admitted to a private hospital which was turning him away in 2008; the selfless gesture shamed the BMC into finally making emergency funds available last year</p>

Sudhir Amin
When Deputy Fire Officer Sudhir Amin passed away yesterday from injuries sustained in last week’s Kalbadevi blaze, the fire department and the city lost someone who was known not just for being brave, but also selfless.

RIP: Thanks to Amin, the fire department now has 18 ATM cards with a limit of Rs 2 lakh each to be used for the treatment of injured firemen
