    This is not an emergency service. The people who respond in this forum do so voluntarily, in their free time. When someone who can answer your question is free, they will do so.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Sorry, your need is unclear. Do you want it translated into Urdu, or some other language? It's already in English.

    The sentence means that "The room that was safe from fire accidents is no longer safe. There is some reason that made the safety system to fail."

    My point was that you should ask for an "explanation" or "clarification," not a translation.
    We use "translation" only for expressing a certain text in a different language - not for explaining a text in the same language.
