Seminar highlights the need to upgrade technology in firefighting
The Fire Services Department is working with ageing machinery and approaching the firefighting job in the traditional way, when the world has gone ahead by inducting high-end technology based firefighting equipment. This was the opinion of all the experts from the department, who attended the one-day seminar on the Indian Fire and Security Yatra- 2021, organised by the Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) here on Friday. Delivering the keynote address, District Fire Officer B.V.S. Ramprakash said that lighting a fire is easy but fighting it is difficult. He said that despite the drawbacks such as shortage of man and machinery, the men in his department were putting the best foot forward.
