This base remains without Electricity sometimes all through the night exposing workers to mosquitoes and rats and diseases because the toilets don't have running water during this periods. Emergency Responders work under the very inhumane conditions. The guys you see everyday as heroes attending to emergencies are not being treated well when they return back to their bases''.
