It will be a full and tense day and night duty for the 1,300 personnel of the Telangana State Disaster Response and Fire Services Department (TSDRFSD) when Hyderabad and the rest of Telangana celebrates Deepavali on Thursday.
Majority of the 180 large vehicles and 138 bike fire engines will be stationed at strategic locations chosen in tandem with the local police, especially where cracker stalls are located. Within the twin cities, about 60 large truck engines and about 50 two-wheeler quick response teams have been readied.
These two-member teams armed with fire extinguishers will be deployed to deal with any fire quickly before they turn into major mishaps as they can easily manoeuvre traffic and congested roads, said Regional Fire Service Officer, Central Region, V. Papaiah. There were over 60 fire related complaints last year during Diwali, he said.
