 REPAIR & MAINTENANCE FACILITIES

It is very important that all fire appliances held at the fire

stations are always kept in perfectly fit condition for prolonged
fire fighting operations all the time. To ensure this, apart from a
very rigid maintenance schedule to be followed at the fire
station, adequate minor and major repair facilities are to be
provided. Most of the recognized fire services have their own
elaborate workshop and technical staff to deal with this work. It
is, therefore, recommended that the maintenance and first line
repairs must be carried out at the fire stations while for major
repairs the fire brigade may depend on the undertaking
workshops.
 FIRE STAFF REQUIREMENT

Keeping in view of vast area and quick response to fire incident

in NSD,KPD-1, KPD-2 and various infrastructure
/establishment of KoPT, 03 fire station is required. However we
have assessed the man power for existing two fire stations viz.

advisory Council of the Government of India and latest Fire
