Yogi govt steps up precautionary measures against fire outbreaks in summer

To avert fire mishaps amid summers, the Yogi government has taken a slew of measures, ranging from utilising the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) to prevent such incidents, to ensuring provision of fire tender facility in all tehsils. While chairing his first high-level review meeting with senior officials after assuming charge for his second term, Adityanath on Wednesday said, “Many states saw fire outbreaks in hospitals amid Covid-19 menace. Our elaborate arrangements helped in avoiding any such incident in UP, however, we must maintain caution and carry out physical review of fire safety arrangements at all places.” Determined to protect the state against any such incidents, the Chief Minister further directed the officials to utilise ICCCs, which contributed significantly towards Covid-19 management, for keeping round-the-clock vigilance on fire safety management so that in case of any deficiency or disturbance, the system is rectified with immediate effect. The ICCCs that are functional in each district, will also comfort people in cases of natural calamities such as heat waves and floods. In addition, the Uttar Pradesh government is also working to provide fire tender with modern facilities in all the tehsils. This will not only give a substantial boost to the Fire and Rescue Services forces in the state, but will also enable in controlling such incidents, he added. The Chief Minister has also instructed to bring down the emergency response time to 15 minutes in rural areas and seven minutes in urban areas.
