  "account": "The City Traffic Police in Murree has launched a fire safety crackdown on school vans and other public service vehicles throughout the district. The initiative was directed by District Police Officer Raza Tanveer Sipra and Chief Traffic Officer Munir Ahmed Hashmi. Traffic wardens have intensified inspections on major roads and key locations, with a specific emphasis on vehicles transporting schoolchildren. Officers are verifying the presence of functional fire extinguishers that are not expired. This enforcement follows a recent school van fire incident in Murree that resulted in 11 injuries. Both drivers and vehicle owners have been instructed to maintain functional fire extinguishers in their vehicles. The first few minutes after a vehicle catches fire are crucial; having a working fire extinguisher can significantly reduce the risk of loss of life and property until emergency services arrive. School administrations, parents, transporters, and drivers are being reminded to prioritize the safety of vehicles used to transport children. Inspections of public service and school transport vehicles will continue at various locations in Murree to ensure compliance with safety standards.",
