The Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) in partnership with NGO Project Mumbai has started a unique campaign of training citizen volunteers in fire safety and awareness. In just three months, MFB has successfully trained over 6,000 citizens in basic first response to minor fire and other emergencies.
A fortnight after a fire broke out in Kandivali-based highrise, claiming the lives of two senior citizens, the Kandivali Police have booked the secretary, chairman, architect along with the developer of the 15-storey building for the charges of causing death by negligence. The fire safety equipment were not in ideal conditions which resulted in the fire getting aggravated, said police.
Two people died after a fire broke out on the fourteenth floor of a 15-storey residential building in suburban Kandivali (West) in Mumbai late on Saturday evening.
