Executive Summary
Fire service is one of the most important emergency response services in the country, which
comes under the 12th schedule of the constitution dealing with Municipal functions. At
present, fire prevention and fire fighting services are organized by the concerned States and
Union Territories (UTs), and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Directorate of National Disaster
Response Force and Civil Defence (NDRF&CD, Fire Cell), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
render technical advice to the States, UTs, and central ministries on fire protection,
prevention, and legislation. Fire services in Maharashtra, Haryana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh (excluding Indore), and Punjab are under the respective Municipal
Corporations. In the remaining States, it is under the respective Home Department.
The growth of fire-services in the country has been on an ad-hoc basis, without much
scientific analysis of existing risks in different parts of the country. Varying risk scenarios
need different types of equipment. The risk varies with geographical location such as hilly-
area, coastal-area, desert–area, and with residential (high-rise, medium, and low rise-
buildings), industrial, commercial area or a combination of these. Moreover, lack of
knowledge management for future planning and institutional capacity and funds are also
seen as a few of the major challenges in addressing improvements in fire and emergency
services in the country. As per a recent analysis by the Standing Fire and Advisory Council
(SFAC), the overall deficiency in the country in terms of number of Fire Stations is 97.54%,
in terms of fire fighting and rescue vehicles is 80.04% and in terms of fire personnel is
96.28%, respectively, which is quite alarming (NDMA Guideline, 2012, CR SFAC, 2011). In
consideration of this and the increasing fire risks from various hazards, the Directorate of
NDRF&CD, Fire Cell, MHA planned a study called “Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis in the
Country for Revamping the Fire Services in the Country”, to identify existing gaps in
terms of availability and requirement of Fire Stations, capacity-building, trained man-power
and fire-fighting, rescue, and other specialized equipment.
The broad objectives of the study are:
 To carry out GIS thematic map based Fire Hazard and Risk analysis though overlaying
hazards and quantified risk, and classify the districts as base units into appropriate
risk categories such as very high, high, medium, or low.
 To prepare a detailed Investment and Financing Plan for next 10 years for up-
gradation, expansion and modernization of Fire Services, based on existing situation
analysis and risk based actual requirements.
 To develop an open-source GIS based software called as a Fire Decision Support
System (FDSS) containing administrative boundaries, quantified risk GIS layers and
with capability of estimation of financial implications for desired capacity
development.
 To prepare an Institutional Assessment and Capacity Building Plan, based on field-
data collection, enquiry, spatial analysis and understanding of the availability and
gaps in the fire service infrastructure.
Role of Fire Services
The primary role of fire services has been to attend to fire incidents. Besides firefighting, fire
department also attends to other emergencies such as building collapse, road traffic
accidents, human and animal rescue etc., and other special service calls. Some fire services
also attend medical emergencies for transportation of casualties through ambulances
maintained by them. Similarly, some States, like Delhi, have separate flood department with
rescue boats and trained divers. The Fire Services maintain skeletal facilities to act as „first

responders‟ and wait until assistance from the flood department arrives. It is therefore,
considered appropriate that the specialized facilities for such jobs is maintained and
operated by the concerned department.
As indicated in the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines, Fire Service
is one of the Emergency Support Functions (ESF). Based on DM Act 2005, various States
have also formulated State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMA‟s) and District Disaster
Management Authorities (DDMA‟s) both of which consider Fire Service as an ESF. It is,
therefore, evident that the role of Fire Services has become multi-dimensional that includes
not only attending fire incident calls but also various other emergencies. Accordingly, fire
services in the jurisdiction of the respective Fire Station are required to be prepared with
suitable types of equipment to deal with various emergencies.
The role of fire services also includes effective fire prevention, creating awareness on fire
safety, and enforcing the inbuilt fire protection arrangements for various types of
occupancies in line with National Building Code (NBC) part – IV. However, some of the
States/Municipal Fire Services are unable to enforce the fire safety provisions due to a lack
of appropriate directives from the authorities controlling the function of fire services. Majority
of the Fire Services do not adhere to NBC and have created their own fire-safety building
bye-laws, e.g., Mumbai Fire Brigade. It may be noted that in-built fire safety arrangements
and escape facilities are much more important than having a fire service within the premises
without the above facilities. It is, therefore, necessary to enforce the fire-safety provisions
through appropriate directives to all the States/UTs by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
directly or through DG, NDRF & CD office.
In addition to the regular fire services, various other organizations/ industries, such as Ports,
Airports, Defence, Power, Oil and Gas, Steel, Heavy Engineering, Fertilizers, Chemicals etc.
have their own fire service set-ups (including their own captive resources), in order to
provide fire protection to their facilities and some of them at times provide support to local
fire services on request. All of them have their rules and regulations concerning fire safety.
For example, Oil India Safety Directorate (OISD) norms for Oil and Gas Industries,
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) norms for Airports, Tariff Advisory
Committee (TAC) regulations- now discontinued, for industries etc. and Electricity Rules for
power sector.
Safety of highly hazardous processing and storage industries requires 100 percent round the
clock built-in and functional fire protection arrangements with trained fire fighters as well as
onsite and off-site disaster management plans. Fire services are not expected to create the
infrastructure to independently tackle such emergencies within the industry, as it may be not
be possible to do so. However, they are expected to support any on-site and off-site fire
fighting to protect surrounding populations and handle such incidents during transportation
through the civil areas. Moreover, local fire services should have mutual-aid schemes with all
the industries in their jurisdiction and must be aware of the various arrangements available
with them in order to provide efficient support, in case of an emergency.
Phased Approach
In order to conduct this study for India, a vast country covering all the States and Union
Territories (UTs), it was decided to conduct this study in a phased manner. In the initial
phase, the pilot study comprises of 6 States and UTs (Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan,
Maharashtra, Delhi, Andaman & Nicobar Island, and Puducherry), and in subsequent
phases (Phase-I to Phase-IV), rest of States/UTs have been taken up as detailed in Section
2.3.

Field Surveys for Fire Infrastructure Data

To collect and collate the information on Fire Infrastructure of all the States/ UTs, RMSI team
developed two detailed forms “Headquarter Data Collection Form” and individual “Fire
Station Field-Survey Form”. RMSI team field-surveyed all the Fire Stations in pilot
States/UTs for collecting detailed fire Infrastructure information. The detailed information
collected includes address of Fire Station, name of Fire Station in-charge, emergency
contact numbers, communication between Fire Station control room, public and headquarter
control room; Fire Station building including staff accommodation and barracks; fire fighting
vehicles and specialized equipment; fire personnel, their duty pattern and pay-scales; water
availability and water sources for fire vehicles, fire-risk in the jurisdiction of Fire Station and
its geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude -by using a Global Positioning System, GPS)
etc. etc. All this information for each and every Fire Station has been digitally converted and
is available through Fire Decision Support System (FDSS), which can generate a Fire
Station report at the click of a button.
GIS based Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis
In general, fire risk is defined as the combination of hazard potential, exposure, and
vulnerability:
Risk = F (Hazard potential x Exposure x Vulnerability)
The occurrence of fire incidents that constitute a threat for the population and exposed
infrastructure of a certain region is associated with economic and human losses, always as a
function of the exposure conditions and the vulnerability of the exposed assets in that
particular region. Different natural hazards such as seismic (earthquake), climatic, and wind
are considered in risk analysis. Additionally hill zone are also considered in risk analysis due
to increased fire risk from wooden houses and heating provisions in cold areas.
For estimating exposure and its vulnerability, detailed urban agglomerate classification maps
generated from high-resolution satellite images have been used. With the help of remote
sensing techniques applied on high-resolution satellite imageries, various types of urban
agglomeration areas have been demarcated. These include urban, semi-urban, building
blocks, and industrial and rural villages‟ built-up areas of different densities (high medium,
low). For exposure vulnerability, 4 different layers such as population density, residential
built-up areas, high-rise building block density, and industrial areas have been developed
individually at district level. For assessing fire risk, both absolute built-up areas in sq km as
well as built-up areas percent (ratio of built-up areas to the total area) are considered as
important parameters. It is obvious that industrial areas in districts have much lower
percentages than residential built-up areas. However, presence of industrial areas in a
district has a significant influence in assessing fire risk. Hence, industrial areas in absolute
terms (sq km) have been considered in risk ranking.
In order to assess the impact of each exposure vulnerability type, a vulnerability score/
ranking has been assigned to each layer at their base unit. The vulnerability score
represents the level of vulnerability (very high to negligible) of a specific type of exposure in
response to the occurrences of small and medium fire incidents. The natural break in value
distribution has been considered for defining the ranking class.
After developing ranking of individual units of hazard and exposure vulnerability, GIS layers
have been overlaid on top of each other and a spatial analysis has been performed for
integration in GIS environment. For combining hazard and risk, Weighted Factor Analysis
(WFA) in GIS environment has been performed. Weighted ranking scores have been used in
the integration analysis and quantified risk distribution for each district. Values of weighted
factor depend upon the importance of a particular hazard/ vulnerability class in risk analysis.
For integration of hazards, equal weights have been assigned to wind, seismic and climatic
hazards, while double weights have been given to hill zoning. This is because, in hilly terrain,

wooden houses and heating provisions in buildings increase the chances of fire-incidences,
and thus have been given higher weightage.
After obtaining integrated individual weighted score for hazard and exposure vulnerability,
fire risk categories have been obtained in quantitative terms by further integration of hazard
and exposure vulnerability. It is obvious that in the occurrence of the number of fire incidents
in a given district, exposure vulnerability has more importance than the prevailing hazard.
Hence, in quantified integration, double weights have been assigned to exposure
vulnerability. The quantified numeric values of district risk scores are again grouped into four
descriptive categories of district level risk ranking (very high, high, medium, and low).
As per project scope of work, countrywide district level fire hazard and risk analysis has
been carried out. However, it is obvious that the fire risk is not uniformly distributed
throughout the districts in both urban and rural areas. Considering the above fact, RMSI has
performed GIS based risk analysis, based on distribution of population agglomeration by
defining built-up areas into different risk categories, such as high-density urban, low-density
urban, sub-urban, and village. Moreover, distinct demarcated industrial areas have also
been considered in the analysis.
Review of International and National Norms
To estimate the gaps from the existing position in terms of number of Fire Stations and their
appropriate location, the RMSI team followed scientific and innovative GIS based response
time network analysis approach involving various norms and regulations. Various
international and national norms on response time have been reviewed. Response time is
defined as “en route time (in minutes) taken by the fire fighting vehicle from the Fire Station
to the fire emergency scene.” Different counties follow different norms on response time
such as:
Germany: response time in urban areas varies from 8 to 15 minutes
Japan: response time varies from 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon the location of the
building
USA: response time varies from (3-4) to 8 minutes
United Kingdom: response time varies from 5 to 8 minutes
India: SFAC norms recommended response time for first fire tender is 3, 5, and 7
minutes respectively depending on risk category A, B, and C in urban area and 20
minutes in rural area. The norms also defined one Fire Station in an area of 10 sq
km in urban area; and 50 sq km in rural area.
To investigate the practicability of SFAC norms, RMSI team carried out a number of
simulations using GIS based network analysis. With these simulations, RMSI demonstrated
that two SFAC norms (response time and area-based) are not in synchronization with each
other, and recommended revised response time based norms for positioning a Fire Station,
as response area will vary from place to place depending upon the road network.
Depending upon the risk category, the recommended response time for first
fire tender is 5 to 7 minutes in urban areas and 20 minutes in rural areas

Summary of Findings for Madhya Pradesh State

Presently, Madhya Pradesh Fire Services (MPFS) has 292 operational Fire Stations. The
Fire Service in the State is operated under the Urban Administration and Development
Department (UADD). A few Fire Stations in the State are also being operated under the
Police Fire Service. Currently, MPFS do not have a State Fire Service Training Centre and
fireman are being trained for a 6 months duration at a private institute (All India Insitute of
Local Self Government).
Based on detailed demarcated built-up areas and GIS based network analysis (response
time analysis), ideal jurisdiction boundaries have been demarcated for all operational Fire
Stations excluding areas served by other agencies, such as airport, military cantonment,
thermal power plants etc. The remaining areas, not covered under ideal jurisdiction of
operational Fire Stations, are also divided for ideal jurisdictions of new proposed Fire
Stations. The requirements for fire fighting and rescue vehicles and specialized equipment
are based on ideal served population, population density, and built-up areas within ideal
jurisdiction boundary.
Fire Station Gap Analysis
As per detailed GIS based analysis, the Madhya Pradesh Fire Services would require
additional 58 Fire Stations in urban areas and 163 Fire Stations in rural areas. Hence this
study finds an overall gap of 43% in terms of number of Fire Stations in Madhya Pradesh
State (for details, please refer to section 24.3.1).

Firefighting and Rescue Vehicles and Specialized Equipment Gap Analysis

For estimating the gap in fire fighting and rescue vehicles and specialized equipment in
operational as well proposed Fire Stations both in urban and rural areas, the RMSI team
modified the SFAC norms with expert opinions. These modifications also helped in
optimization of resources and are detailed in section 24.3.2. This study finds an overall gap
of 81% in the firefighting and rescue vehicles and about 97% in specialized equipment for
both operational and new Fire Stations in urban and rural areas.

Fire Personnel Gap Analysis

For estimating the gap in fire personnel in operational as well new proposed Fire Stations
both in urban and rural areas, the RMSI team used Administrative Reform Department
(ARD, Delhi) norms based on duty pattern (double-shift) prevalent in Delhi as ARD has
already optimized the fire manpower requirement in comparison to what has been suggested
in SFAC norms. The current duty pattern for firefighters in the State is varying from 8 hours
(3-shifts), to 12 hrs (2-shifts) to 24 hours, and RMSI team estimated for manpower
requirement for double shift duty pattern (for details, please refer to section 24.3.3). Thus, in
Madhya Pradesh State, this study finds an overall gap of 98% in fire personnel considering
double shift duty pattern.
Fire Prevention Wing
In addition to fire fighting staff, there is an urgent need for fire prevention wing for inspection,
awareness generation, and training for schools, colleges, hospitals, shopping malls, cinema
halls, high-rise buildings, industries, govt. offices, public buildings etc. need further
strengthening, so that recurrence of the fire incidences similar to that at the Advance Medical
Research Institute (AMRI), Kolkata, in terms of their magnitude and frequency can be
reduced. Accordingly, to support Director Urban Administration and Development
Department, Madhya Pradesh Fire Services, additional officers at the levels of Director
(Technical), Joint Director (Technical), Deputy Director (Technical), Chief Fire Officers
(CFOs), Dy. Chief Fire Officers (Dy-CFOs), Divisional Fire Officers (DFOs), and Assistant
Divisional Fire Officers (ADFOs) have been recommended (for details, please refer to
section 24.2.2).
Fire Station, District and State Level Report Generation
The detailed report of operational Fire Stations, district and State levels for fire infrastructure
and gap analysis is also available through the Fire Decision Support System (FDSS), which
can generate reports for each Operational Fire Station, district, and State level at the click of
a button.
Roadmap for Investment and Financial Plan for Next 10 Years
The other tasks include the development of Investment and Financial plan, Institutional
Assessment & Capacity Building Plan along with a Fire Decision Support System (FDSS).
As detailed in section 24.5, the detailed investment and financial plan at district level
includes estimation of capital cost for infrastructure cost, fire fighting and rescue vehicles,
and specialized fire and communication equipment. The recurring expenditure cost includes
fire personnel cost depending upon pay-scales at various levels; staff uniform cost, and
personal protective equipment (PPE); annual vehicle and specialized equipment
maintenance cost, petrol, diesel, and lubricant (PDL); building maintenance; office and
training expenses etc. The detailed roadmap and investment plan (section 24.5) for the next
10-years includes both capital and recurring expenditures. RMSI analysis estimates a total
investment of about Rs 28,484 Crores (Table 24-36) spread over a period of 10 years for
Madhya Pradesh Fire Services including inflationary factors and after filling the gaps for both
operational and proposed urban and rural Fire Stations.
Prioritization of New Fire Stations
The prioritization of new Fire Stations in Madhya Pradesh for both rural and urban areas has
been detailed in section 24.6. Accordingly, separate priority ranking for both urban and rural
areas are given in Table 24-38 and Table 24-39, respectively.
Avenues for Fund Generation
Madhya Pradesh Fire Services (MPFS) can generate new avenues for funds from the
following:

Introduction of Fire Tax (1% of existing property tax)

Capitation fee for scrutiny of building plans.
Capacity Building and Training Facilities

The study finds that there is a substantial gap for Capacity Building and Training among the
fire personnel within the Madhya Pradesh State. The detailed Capacity building and training
need assessment for various levels have been discussed in section 24.8. Additionally, RMSI
team is making a separate report of Capacity Building and Training Infrastructure for all
States/UTs in the country.
Limitations of the Study
Limitations of study are given in section 24.9.
Recommendations
The report concludes with the recommendation for the Madhya Pradesh Fire Service and is
detailed in section 24.10. In short, Madhya Pradesh Fire Service can be revamped in next 10
years to desired level provided sufficient funds and trained resources are made available.

PART - A

1 Introduction
1.1 Background
Fire service is one of the most important emergency response services. In India, Fire
services come under the 12th Schedule of the constitution dealing with Municipal functions.
At present, fire prevention and fire fighting services are organized by the concerned States
and Union Territories (UTs), and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Ministry of Home Affairs
(MHA) renders technical advice to the States, UTs, and central ministries on fire protection,
prevention, and legislation. Fire services in Maharashtra, Haryana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh excluding Indore, and Punjab are under the respective Municipal
Corporations. In remaining States, it is under the Home Department (Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1: Distribution of fire services by various States/UTs by administrative

organization
1.2 Role of Fire Services

As far as the role of fire services is concerned, the primary job of fire services has been to
attend to fire incidents. However, they also attend to other emergencies like rescue from

building collapse, road traffic accidents, human and animal rescue etc., and other special
service calls. Some fire services also attend medical emergencies for transportation of
casualties through ambulances maintained by them. Similarly, some States have separate
flood department with rescue boats and trained divers, like Delhi. The Fire Services maintain
skeleton facility to act as „first responder‟ and wait until assistance from flood department is
reached. It is therefore, considered appropriate that the specialized facilities for such job is
maintained and operated by the concerned department.
As indicated in the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) guidelines, Fire
Services is one of the Emergency Support Functions (ESF). Based on DM Act 2005, various
States have also formulated State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMA‟s) and District
Disaster Management Authorities (DDMA‟s) both of which consider Fire Service as an ESF.
It is therefore evident that the role of Fire Service is multi-dimensional that includes attending
various emergencies. Accordingly, fire services are required to be prepared with suitable
types of equipment to deal with various emergencies arising in the jurisdiction of the
respective Fire Station.
The role of fire services also includes effective fire prevention, creating awareness on fire
safety, and enforcing the inbuilt fire protection arrangements for various types of
occupancies in line with National Building Code (NBC) part – IV. However, some of the
States/Municipal Fire Services are unable to enforce the fire safety provisions due to a lack
of appropriate directives from the authorities controlling the function of fire services. Some of
the Fire Services do not adhere to NBC and have created their own fire-safety building
byelaws, e.g., Mumbai Fire Brigade. It may be noted that in-built fire safety arrangements
and escape facilities are much more important than having a fire service within the premises
without the above facilities. It is, therefore, necessary to enforce the fire-safety provisions
through appropriate directives to all the States/UTs by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
directly or through DG, NDRF & CD office.
In addition to the regular fire services, various other organizations/ industries, such as Ports,
Airports, Defence, Power, Oil and Gas, Steel, Heavy Engineering, Fertilizers, Chemicals etc.
have their own fire service set-ups (including their own captive resources), in order to
provide fire protection to their facilities and some of them at times provide support to local
fire services on request. All of them have their rules and regulations concerning fire safety.
For example, Oil India Safety Directorate (OISD) norms for Oil and Gas Industries,
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) norms for Airports, Tariff Advisory
Committee (TAC) regulations- now discontinued, for industries etc. and Electricity Rules for
power sector.
Safety of highly hazardous processing and storage industries requires 100 percent round the
clock built-in and functional fire protection arrangements with trained fire fighter as well as
onsite and off-site disaster management plans. Fire services are not expected to create the
infrastructure to tackle such industrial emergencies independently, as it may be not be
possible to do so. However, they are expected to support any on-site and off-site fire fighting
to protect surrounding populations and handle such incidents during transportation through
the civil areas. Moreover, local fire services should have mutual-aid schemes with all the
industries in their jurisdiction and must be aware of the various arrangements available with
them in order to provide efficient support, in case of an emergency.
The growth of fire-services in the country has been on an ad-hoc basis, without much
scientific analysis of existing risks in different parts of the country. Varying risk scenarios
need different types of equipment depending upon the risk and geographical location such
as hilly-area, coastal-area, desert–area, and residential (high-rise, medium, and low rise-
buildings), industrial, commercial area or a combination of these. Moreover, lack of
knowledge management for future planning and institutional capacity and funds are also
seen as major challenges in addressing improvements in fire and emergency services in the

country. As per a recent analysis by the Standing Fire and Advisory Council (SFAC), the
overall deficiency in the country in number of Fire Stations is 97.54%, in fire fighting &
rescue vehicles 80.04% and in fire personnel is 96.28%, respectively, which is quite
alarming (NDMA Guideline, 2012, CR SFAC, 2011).
In consideration of this and the increasing risks from various hazards, such as Fire Following
an Earthquake (FFEQ), and the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization in the
country, the Directorate of National Disaster Response Force and Civil Defence (NDRF&CD,
Fire Cell), MHA felt the need for a comprehensive study to identify existing gaps in terms of
availability and requirement of Fire Stations, capacity-building, in terms of trained man-power
and fire-fighting, rescue, and other specialized equipment. This comprehensive study aims
at preparing a perspective plan for the next 10 years for revamping the fire services in
the country.
1.3 Objective of the study

The broader objective of this study is to prepare a Capital Investment and Institutional
Strengthening plan for accelerated development of fire services in the country.
1.4 Scope of the study

The study area for this assignment is the entire country under the Directorate of NDRF &
Civil Defence (Fire). The scope of the assignment will include, inter alia, the following
activities:
1. Fire Hazard & Risk Analysis: Carry out a GIS (Open Source) based fire hazard and
risk analysis and identify the gaps in fire services in terms of fire fighting vehicles,
specialized equipment, and trained fire personnel.
2. Investment and Financing Plan: Assess the status, availability and distribution of
the fire service infrastructure under the Directorate of NDRF & Civil Defence (Fire
Cell) by conducting field investigations and interviews. It is expected to conduct an
investigation to assess the gaps and needs for future planning and upgradation/
modernization of the fire service infrastructure in the country in a quantified
approach. As part of the Investment and Financing Plan, it is also expected to
estimate the Capital and O&M Investment plan for the next 10 years and the
investment priorities.
3. Institutional assessment and capacity building plan: Based on field-data
collection, enquiry, spatial analysis and understanding on the availability and gaps in
the fire service infrastructure, and prepare an institutional assessment and capacity-
building plan for the department. Institutional Assessment and Capacity Building Plan
will include but will not be limited to understanding the policies, regulations, strategies
and programs of the department; existing legal and institutional mechanisms, issues
and constraints of effective management; and training needs and capacity of the
department‟s resources. Based on a comprehensive understanding of the mentioned
variables, it is expected to prepare a consolidated national report and key
recommendations for the Directorate of NDRF & CD (Fire Cell). It is also expected to
explore the possibility of funding sources and provide recommendations for
improvements to ensure appropriate financing mechanisms for capital expenditure,
and for operation and maintenance.

2 Technical Details on Methodology and Data

Development
2.1 Understanding of the Scope of Work
The primary objective of this comprehensive study on “Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis in the
Country” is to prepare a capital investment and institutional strengthening plan for
accelerated Development of Fire Services in the country. To achieve this objective of the
study, the Directorate of NDRF & CD has defined the broad scope of the work as:
1. Risk and Hazard Analysis
Identifications of gaps in the existing fire services
2. Investment and Financial Plan
3. Institutional Assessment and Capacity Building Plan
Including survey of NFSC Nagpur and regional fire training Centers
As part of the Risk and Hazard Analysis, it is expected to carry out a GIS based hazard, risk
analysis at base unit (district) level, and identify the gaps in the existing fire services. Risk
assessment of forest fire is not included under the present scope of work. The infrastructures
of forest department, privately owned fire safety infrastructure, infrastructures in restricted
areas like military cantonments and airbases, and ammunition depots; nuclear facilities such
as nuclear power plants, nuclear research reactors, heavy water plants; and mines, ports,
airports, and oil exploration and oil refineries are excluded from the study. While assessing
the infrastructure for the Investment and Financing Plan, RMSI has focused specifically on
the States/ UTs Fire Services. However, it may please be noted that RMSI team is also
making efforts to get details of areas served by other agencies as well, so that
requirement of establishing Fire Stations in these areas does not become part of the
Gap analyses.
As part of the „Investment and Financing Plan‟, it is expected to assess the status,
availability and distribution of the fire service infrastructure under the jurisdiction of Director
General (NDRF & Civil Defence) through conducting field investigations and interviews. It is
also expected to conduct an investigation to assess the gaps and needs for future planning,
up gradation/ modernization of the fire service infrastructure in the country through a
quantified approach. As part of the Investment and Financing Plan, it is also expected to
estimate the Capital and O&M Investment plan for the next 10 years and the investment
priorities. Based on the field data collection, enquiry, spatial analysis and understanding on
the availability and gaps in the fire service infrastructure, it is expected to prepare an
institutional assessment and capacity-building plan for the department. Institutional
Assessment and Capacity Building Plan will include but not limited be to understanding the
polices, regulations, strategies and programs of the department; existing legal and
institutional mechanisms, issues and constrains of effective management; training needs
and capacity of the department‟s resources. Based on a comprehensive understanding of
the mentioned variables, it is expected to prepare a consolidated National Report and key
recommendations for the Director General (NDRF & Civil Defence) for all the Fire Stations
under jurisdiction of the Directorate of NDRF & CD. Moreover, the possibility of funding
sources will also be explored, and recommendations are made for improvements to ensure
good financing mechanisms for capital expenditure and operation and maintenance.

2.2 Study Area

The study area for this assignment is the entire fire service area of the country under the
Directorate of NDRF & Civil Defence (Fire Cell). RMSI has carried out physical survey of all
the Fire Stations under the Directorate of NDRF & CD (Fire Cell) (Figure 2-1) across the
country.
Figure 2-1 : State/UT wise distribution of fire service stations in India

2.3 Phased Approach

As India is a vast country and in order to conduct this study for all the States and Union
Territories (UTs), it was decided to conduct this study in a phased manner (Table 2-1).
The initial phase pilot study comprises of six States and UTs - Jammu & Kashmir,
Rajasthan, Puducherry, Maharashtra, Andaman & Nicobar Island, and Delhi and other
States/UTs have been taken up in subsequent Phases (Phase I to Phase IV). The Fire-
Infrastructure of all States/ UTs has been Field–Surveyed by RMSI team and fire hazard and
risk analyses have been carried out. The other tasks include development of Investment and
financing plan, Institutional assessment & capacity building plan along with a prototype Fire
Decision Support System (FDSS). The outcomes of pilot study were submitted to the Expert
Group of the project for their review and approval and detailed discussions were held with
senior Fire Officials, MHA and respective State/UT representatives. The approved report is
used as a template for conducting the study for the remaining States/ UTs in the phased
manner indicated in Table 2-1.
It may be noted that there could be region specific modifications and variations in the
requirements of different kinds and types of fire fighting equipment depending upon the risk
category of the district (base unit) of Fire Station, its geographical location such as coastal-
area, hilly-area and desert–area. Phase wise list of States/UTs also includes corresponding
number of districts (Census, 2011), number of Talukas/ Mandals/ Tehsils (Census, 2001),
and number of Fire Stations (Table 2-1).

3 GIS based Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis

Based on RMSI‟s vast experience of executing large projects at State and country levels,
RMSI team has adopted the following approach (detailed below) to carry out this
assignment. This approach has also been presented and discussed in a series of meetings
with the officials of the Directorate of NDRF & CD, MHA, Government of India.
The risk of fire in urban areas has increased over the years and the rising cost of fire losses
would seem to indicate that they are increasing at a greater rate than the measures devised
to control them. Cities are growing in size and complexity day by day; therefore, they need to
be managed more efficiently.
Geographic Information System (GIS) is an important and efficient tool that can be used by
local administrations to minimize natural disasters (Recep Nisanci, 2010). Although there are
many formal definitions of GIS, for practical purposes GIS can be defined as a computer-
based system to aid in the collection, maintenance, storage, analysis, output and distribution
of spatial data information (Bolstad, 2005). Thus, GIS technologies have been used in fire
analysis related to the optimum location of Fire Stations. For example, Habibi et al. (2008),
has made spatial analysis of urban Fire Stations in Tehran, using an analytical hierarchy
process and GIS. Yang et al. (2004) also carried out studies concerning the selection of Fire
Station locations using GIS.
Unlike a flat paper map, a GIS-generated map can represent many layers of different
information. This representation provides a unique way of thinking about geographic space.
By linking map databases, GIS enables users to visualize, manipulate, analyze and display
spatial data. GIS technology based approach is cost-effective and provides accurate
solutions in an expanding range of applications. RMSI team is adopting following approach
for fire risk analysis of Indian States.
3.1 GIS Data Compilations
GIS Map based fire hazard and risk analysis is one of the main tasks of this assignment. In
order to undertake hazard and risk analysis, various GIS layers and other associated
thematic maps have been created for each of the pilot States/UTs that form the basis for risk
ranking of base units (districts). The following is a list of selected GIS layers as base
administrative layers and other dependant layers that have been used in GIS based fire risk
analyses.
1. State administrative boundary layers
2. District administrative boundary layers
3. Rail network
4. Major (highways) and main road networks
5. Minor roads/ street road networks
6. Locations of cities, and major towns with their names
7. State level Land use land cover maps
8. Demarcation of residential, commercial and industrial built-up areas
9. Census population data (2011)
10. Geographical locations (latitude, longitude) of operational Fire Stations
11. Other collateral data such as information from city development plans (if
available), and demarcation of fire-station jurisdictional areas.

These data layers and their attribute data have been expanded according to needs
analyses. The needs analyses include query information for the data needed for generating
risk maps and effective fire fighting planning.
After taking into account all requirements and data types, RMSI team has generated various
GIS data layers for further GIS spatial analyses. District boundaries were considered as the
base unit for analysis in assessing fire services infrastructure gaps, risk quantifications, and
risk classifications.
GIS maps for administrative boundary layers such as State, and district are based on
published Census 2011 data. Currently, Census 2011 has published only district level
demographic data. In comparison to previous census (Census 2001), several new districts
have been created. These new districts have been considered in the analysis.
Classified land use and land cover data is the backbone in fire hazard and risk analysis.
Latest vintage satellite images have been used to capture the various features such as road
networks, forest areas and habitat/settlement areas (Figure 3-1). The various land use land
cover classes were extracted from latest vintage satellite images at 25m resolution for the
selected States and UTs, and at higher resolution for major cities. The extraction is based on
a semi-automated classification approach to distinguish the classes based on their
reflectance values in the source satellite imagery. Data quality and data validation checks
have been carried out for each stage of data generation.
For LULC classification, remote sensing satellite images were geo-referenced and classified
to generate different LULC layers such as vegetation, built-up area, water bodies, and
streets, based on their spectral reflectance i.e. DN (Digital Number) values. In this process,
through a semi-automated process, these DN values of satellite images are classified into
respective LULC classes to generate the clutter data. These clutter data layers are further
subdivided into their respective sub-classes and merged together to give preliminary clutter
data. The output clutter goes through standard validation processes and quality checks to
produce high quality final clutters. Table 3-1 shows a list of classified LULC data at 25-meter
resolution. Figure 3-1 displays delineated LULC classes for different parts of western
Maharashtra (districts– Mumbai, Mumbai sub-urban, Thane, Pune and Raigarh). Figure 3-2
shows an enlarged view of classified urban agglomerate of Pune city areas.

For major city areas, classifications that are even more detailed have been created with a
high-resolution data layer as shown in Figure 3-3. For major cities / towns, besides the other
classified units, such as highways and main roads, minor roads/streets and localities, have
been captured. After the field survey of individual Fire Stations, GPS locations of all Fire
Stations have been displayed for gap analysis.
3.2 GIS - Overlay Analysis

The basic way to create or identify spatial relationships among various GIS layers is through
the process of spatial overlay. Overlay is a GIS operation in which layers with a common,
registered map base are joined on the basis of their occupation of space. (Keith C. Clarke,
1997). Spatial overlay is accomplished by joining and viewing together separate data sets
that share all or part of the same area. The result of this combination is a new data set that
identifies the spatial relationships.

Figure 3-3 : An example of a detailed classified urban agglomerate area. The

example shows parts of Delhi with overlay of GPS locations of Fire Stations
Overlay analysis is a common, widely used method of analyzing and evaluating geospatial
data. Overlay analysis utilizes map layers in GIS to discover relationships across the layers.
Overlay analysis is used to investigate geographic patterns and to determine locations that
meet specific criteria. Spatial overlay is illustrated and highlighted in Figure 3-4. Various data
layers, such as Land Use Land Cover (LULC), composite hazard, demographic exposure,
road network, administrative boundary and Fire Station locations have been used through
overlay analysis by combining diverse data sets for hazard analysis and Fire Station gap
analysis.

Figure 3-4 : Overlay analysis for Fire Risk Assessment
3.3 Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis

The first-turnout of fire vehicles normally originates from the Fire Station under whose
jurisdiction the fire-call has been received. Sometimes, calls go to a centralized control room,
from where they are directed to the concerned Fire Station. To provide an effective
response, Fire Station infrastructure in the form of fire fighting and rescue vehicles,
specialized equipment and manpower should also take into consideration of fire risks in
addition to road conditions and population distribution. Thus, hazard and risk analysis of the
base unit (district) should be on a scientific basis.
In general, fire risk is defined as the combination of hazard potential, exposure, and
vulnerability:
Risk = F (Hazard potential x Exposure x Vulnerability)
The occurrence of fire incidents that constitute a threat for the population and the exposed
infrastructure of a certain region is associated with economic and human losses, always as a
function of the exposure conditions and the vulnerability of the exposed assets in that
particular region. In the present scope, fire risk can be defined as associated with the
number of small and medium fire incidents and their locations.

3.4 Hazard Ranking

Earthquake (Seismic zones)
Besides loss of life, property damage, building collapses, and loss of basic amenities such
as bridge and road damage, earthquakes can also induce small to large fires. Hence,
earthquake zoning is an important parameter for fire risk analysis.
Based on occurrence of earthquakes of different intensities, the Seismic Zoning Map of India
(IS 1893, 2001; BMTPC, 2006; NBC 2005) divides the country into 4 seismic zones as
shown in Figure 3-5. Seismic Zone V is the highest risk zone where earthquakes having
intensity of IX+ on Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale can take place. Earthquakes of
intensities between VIII to IX can be experienced in seismic Zone IV, whereas earthquakes
can occur between VI and VIII intensity in seismic Zone III.
Figure 3-5 : Seismic zones of India

With GIS overlay analysis, district areas falling within each seismic zone have been
computed. In order to compare seismic risk among various districts, district level ranking of
seismic zones has been assigned, based on the scheme shown in Table 3-2. District level
seismic ranking for pilot States/UTs is shown in Table 3-3.

Wind Zones
Prevailing wind speed is one of the important parameters in assessing fire risk in the area.
Wind speed has a noticeable influence on fire spread. The wind zone map illustrates the
areas vulnerable to high wind speeds (Figure 3-6). There are six basic wind speeds
considered for zoning, namely:
o 55m/s (198 km/hr) Very High Damage Risk Zone-A
o 50m/s (180 km/hr) Very High Damage Risk Zone-B
o 47m/s (169.2 km/hr) High Damage Risk Zone
o 44m/s (158.4 km/hr) Moderate Damage Risk Zone-A
o 39m/s (140.4 km/hr) Moderate Damage Risk Zone-B
o 33m/s (118.8 km/hr) Low Damage Risk Zone
The coastal areas are subjected to severe windstorms and cyclonic storms. A full-grown
cyclone is 150 to 1,000 km across and 10 to 15 km high. Macro-level wind speed zones of
India have been formulated and published in IS 875 (Part-3) – 1987. It is known that in
certain events, the wind gusts could appreciably exceed the given basic wind speeds. For
assessing vulnerability and fire risk to buildings, above macro-level zonings have been
considered. Based on wind speed, risk ranking has been assigned to each wind zone
following the schema described in Table 3-2. District wise estimated wind risk from GIS
overlay analysis is shown in Table 3-3.

Climatic Zones
Regions having similar characteristic features of climate are grouped under one climatic
zone. According to a recent code of the Bureau of Indian Standards, the country has been
divided into the following five major climatic zones:
o Hot & Dry (mean monthly temperature >30 and relative humidity <55%);
o Warm & Humid (mean monthly temperature >25-30 and relative humidity >55-75%);
o Temperate (mean monthly temperature 25-30 and relative humidity <75%);
o Cold (mean monthly temperature <25 and relative humidity – can be any values);
o Composite (This applies when six months or more do not fall within any of the other
categories meaning sharing characteristics of two or more of the above categories in
a year).
Map of climatic zones is shown in Figure 3-7. The hot and dry zone lies in the western and
the central parts of India; Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Sholapur are some of the towns that
experience this type of climate. In this zone, solar radiation and movement of hot winds are
higher. The warm and humid zone covers the coastal parts of the country, such as Mumbai,
Chennai and Kolkata. Pune and Bangalore are examples of non-coastal cities that fall the
under moderate climatic zone. Generally, the Himalayan region experiences cold type of
climate. The composite zone covers the northern Indo-Gangetic plains, such as New Delhi,
Kanpur, and Allahabad.
With GIS overlay analysis, district overlap areas falling within each climatic zone have been
computed. In order to compare impact of being a district in a climatic zone, district level
ranking has been assigned based on the scheme shown in Table 3-2. District level climatic
zone ranking for pilot States/ UT is shown in Table 3-3.
Hilly Areas and Building Class Zones

Extreme cold climate, rugged topography and use of flammable material in building
construction (such as wood) and the use of heating provisions in houses during cold weather
is an important factor for causing fire incidents in that region. To capture such elements in
fire risk hazard, Hilly Areas and Building Class Zones have been created. This class is
directly linked to the cold climate zone. All hilly districts, (such as all districts of Jammu &
Kashmir in the Pilot study) fall under this category. In such districts, a ranking of five has
been assigned. Importance of this zone in terms of occurrence of number of fire incidents is
quite high. Hence, while integrating, a double weightage of 40% has been assigned to this
layer.

3.5 Exposure Vulnerability Ranking

For estimating exposure and its vulnerability, detailed urban agglomerate classification maps
generated from high-resolution satellite images have been used. With the help of remote
sensing techniques applied on high-resolution satellite imageries, 10 types of urban
agglomeration areas have been delineated (Figures 3-1 and 3-2). For major city areas, even
more detailed urban agglomerate classification has been created with high-resolution data
layers as shown in Figure 3-3. These include urban, semi-urban, building blocks, industrial
and rural villages‟ built-up areas. District level census 2011 population has been distributed
to each population agglomeration cluster. For exposure vulnerability, 4 different layers viz.
population density, residential built-up areas, high-rise building block density, and industrial
areas have been developed individually at district level. Table 3-4 shows district level
geographical area, population, population density, residential built-up area, industrial area,
and residential built-up area.

In order to assess the impact of each exposure vulnerability type, a vulnerability score/
ranking has been assigned to each layer at its base unit. The vulnerability score represents
the level of vulnerability (very high to negligible) of a specific type of exposure in response to
the occurrences of small and medium fire incidents. Base unit for vulnerability ranking is the
district boundary. The natural break in value distribution has been considered for defining the
ranking class.
Based on Census 2011 population, district-level population densities have been computed
and grouped into five ranges based on the schema shown in Table 3-5. A ranking of 5 has
been assigned to highly dense districts, having populations greater than 10,000 per sq km,
and 1 to sparsely populated districts having less than 200 people per sq km area.
Table 3-5: Grouping schema for ranking of exposure and vulnerability layers

50 to 100 3 2 to 5 3
20 to 50 2 1 to 2 2
<20 1 <1 1
As described earlier, various types of residential built-up areas have been delineated using
high-resolution images. For assessing fire risk, both absolute built-up areas in sq km as well
as built-up areas percent (ratio of built-up areas to the total area) are important parameters.

Figure 3-8 illustrates an example of district level ranking of residential built-up area percent
and corresponding residential built up area in absolute terms (i.e. area in sq.km.). An
example of this is shown in Figure 3-8 for Maharashtra. It can be seen that Pune district has
the highest residential built-up area, while in terms of residential built-up area in percentage,
Pune district comes at fifth rank (Figure 3-8).
District level values of residential built-up area in percent and in absolute terms (i.e. area in
sq km.) have been grouped separately into five classes and assigned a ranking score of 1- 5
based on the schema shown in Table 3-5. Districts having > 35% residential built-up have
been assigned 5th ranking, while districts having <1 % built-up area as whole have been
assigned a rank of 1. Similarly, 5 ranking has been assigned to district wise residential built-
up areas in sq km based on schema shown in Table 3-5. This schema has been prepared
based on natural breaks of value distribution considering all 106 districts of the pilot study
area. Because of its appropriateness, the schema has been used for ranking all the districts
in the remaining 29 States also.
It is obvious that industrial areas in districts have much lower percentages than residential
built-up areas. However, presence of industrial areas in a district has a significant influence
in assessing fire risk. Hence, industrial areas in absolute terms (sq km) have been
considered in risk ranking. In a similar fashion, district wise industrial areas have been
grouped into five classes and vulnerability ranking has been assigned based on the schema
described in Table 3-5. Districts having more than 10 sq km industrial plot area are ranked at
5, while districts having industrial area of less than 1 sq km are ranked at 1 (Table 3-5).

Integrated Risk Analysis
After developing ranking of individual units in terms of hazard and exposure vulnerability,
GIS layers have been overlaid on top of each other and a spatial analysis has been
performed for integration in GIS environment. For combining hazard and risk, Weighted
Factor Analysis (WFA) in GIS environment has been performed. Weighted ranking scores
have been used in the integration analysis and quantified risk distribution for all districts.
Values of weighted factor depend upon the importance of a particular hazard/ vulnerability
class in risk analysis. For example, temperate zone hazard value of a district has a much
lower weight than the population density of a district.
For integration of hazards, equal weights have been assigned to wind, seismic, and climatic
hazards, while double weights have been given to hill zoning (Table 3-5). This is because, in
hilly terrain, wooden houses, and heating provisions in buildings increase the chances of
fire-incidences, and thus have been given higher weightage.
Four layers of exposure/ vulnerability, such as population density, residential built-up area
percentage, residential built-up area in sq km and Industrial area in sq km seem to have
equal importance in the occurrence of the number of fire incidents in a district. Hence, equal
weights have been assigned in integration of these layers (Table 3-6).

After obtaining integrated individual weighted score for hazard and exposure vulnerability,
fire risk categories have been obtained in quantitative terms by further integration of hazard
and exposure vulnerability. It is obvious that in the occurrence of the number of fire incidents
in a given district, exposure vulnerability has more importance than the prevailing hazard.
Hence, in quantified integration, double weights have been assigned to exposure
vulnerability (Table 3-6).
Table 3-6: Weightage assigned in risk scoring schema for integration of hazard
and exposure vulnerability into fire risk categories

The quantified numeric values of district risk scores are again grouped into four descriptive
categories of district level risk ranking (very high, high, medium, and low) as depicted in
Table 3-7.

4 Field Surveys of Fire Stations for Data Collection

At present, there is a lack of a comprehensive centralized database on the distribution of fire
service infrastructure, and the stock of existing fire fighting vehicles, manpower and
specialized equipment, their types, and their quantities. Most of the information is either
disaggregated or not updated. This information is required for undertaking the gap analysis,
future planning, and improvement of institutional capacity, financial planning, and creating a
roadmap for the next 10 years for revamping the fire services in the country. To have first-
hand information on the distribution of the fire service stations across the country, trained
human resources, infrastructure availability and their status, RMSI project team has carried
out surveys of Fire Stations and collected data from Headquarters of all the States under the
jurisdiction of DG, NDRF & CD (Fire) in the country. In addition to the survey of Fire Stations,
the team has also collected the location (latitude, longitude) of Fire Stations using GPS. The
geographical coordinate information is used for plotting all the Fire Station locations on the
map to perform GIS based spatial analysis. This is required for the analysis of distribution of
Fire Stations and gap analysis on fire-infrastructure, based on risk-category, response time,
and population.
4.1 Field-Survey of individual Fire Station and collection of

Headquarter Data
RMSI project team has designed a comprehensive “Fire Headquarter Data Collection Form”
(Annexure-1) and individual “Fire Station Survey Form” (Annexure-2) to collect all the
required information for each State/UT in the country.
The information includes but is not limited to:
i. Location (latitude, longitude) and location description of the Fire Station
ii. Name of fire-station in-charge and his contact details
iii. Fire Vehicles type, numbers, their model, year of manufacture/induction at the Fire
Station, and general condition of fire vehicles
iv. Specialized firefighting equipment, their type, and quantity
v. Road access and connectivity to vulnerable areas
vi. Infrastructure facilities (accommodation) of fire-personnel and their distance from Fire
Stations
vii. Duty patterns
viii. Staff details at different levels
ix. Water availability etc.
The Fire Headquarter Data Collection Form and individual Fire Station Survey Form have
been designed in such a way as to extract most of the common information including
communication, human resources, specialized equipment, fire-statistics etc. applicable for
the entire State, in a quantitative way, which might help the analysis at a later stage. In
addition to infrastructure information, RMSI also attempted to collect information/indicators
related to vulnerability and risk through indirect questions like:
i. Year wise information on the number of events each unit had attended during the last
5 years and losses caused by fire events both in terms of assets and life.

ii. Few questions on the general perception of the fire officer and in charge of the unit
on various types of risks in the Fire Station jurisdiction.
Analysis on the information of events over time and the loss can provide an understanding of
the vulnerability and risk as well as the susceptibility trend over the year. The fire officer
would be the key person who faces actual needs on the ground as well as in using the
infrastructure for the service.
During the field survey in the pilot study, the RMSI team members have interacted with Fire
Station In-charges to gather the required information. In addition to discussions with the Fire
Station in charge, other key department officials have been contacted to know their
perception about the fire risks and the difficulties that fire department is facing. The project
team is ensuring that the Headquarter Data Collection Forms and Individual Fire Station
Survey Forms are comprehensive and contain all information required for this assignment.
The field data collected by the survey team have undergone through quality checks and the
project team has created a database with all collected information. The database has been
designed in such a way that the data can be used for spatial and non-spatial analysis. All the
Fire Stations have a unique code as identifier.
4.2 Stakeholder Analysis

Apart from the quantitative data collection on the distribution of fire service infrastructure,
stock of the existing equipment and their quality, the RMSI team also interacted with some of
the key fire officials and senior members in DGCD, MHA and NDRF. The focus of such
discussions was more on institutional aspects (issues in the service delivery and
suggestions), capacity, and future requirements. As these interactions are mostly with senior
personnel of fire department, the focus has been to derive a broader picture in terms of
requirements, investment, and institutional capacity building. This information has been
compiled and summarized under various heads, for instance, requirement, investment,
institutional capacity building, etc. RMSI key experts have been analyzing the diverse
opinion of various fire officials and are providing their recommendations.
Any significant issue that was observed during this process, in terms of issues in the process
of the delivery/bottlenecks in smooth operation were being highlighted along with RMSI‟s
suggested solution.

5 Development of Fire Decision Support System

(FDSS)
This chapter discusses the modeling software solution named FDSS (Fire Decision Support
System), developed by RMSI as part of the deliverables. FDSS is a dynamic web-based
system aimed at supporting decision makers take optimal decisions on complex tasks, such
as resource prepositioning, gap analysis, prioritization, and resource optimization along with
the day-to-day tasks. The most important aspect of FDSS is that it enables the apex fire
management authority to provide the entire country‟s fire agencies information on a single
platform.
5.1 Salient Features
Following is a brief description of the FDSS platform. The platform is built on a framework
that is state-of-the-art and is the most suitable solution for users‟ needs.
The salient features of the FDSS platform include:
Web based application built using .NET Framework 3.5 utilizing the GIS capabilities
of an open source GIS Platform.
Multi-tier system architecture that follows the Object Oriented Programming model
with the following objectives:
- Loose coupling between the various tiers – presentation, business and data
- Ease of development and deployment
Ability to navigate, query and render the spatial data
Exposure view, query and update capabilities that will help the user to keep the
information in the system up-to-date
Ability to view and query the outputs in a tabular format
A powerful reporting engine that enables a set of pre-formatted reports that provide
various views of the outputs from the model
A thematic map generator that uses the underlying GIS platform to depict the outputs
from the model as pre-designed thematic maps.
5.2 High Level Design

FDSS has a multi-tier architecture to allow for modularity and scalability. The architecture
follows the Object Oriented Programming model. The various tiers of the system are as
shown in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1 : Three-tier architecture
Presentation tier: This user interface is responsible for gathering inputs from the
user and passing on the same to the business layer for processing. The presentation
layer ensures that the communications passing through are in the appropriate form
for the recipient business objects in the business tier. In FDSS, the user interface
constitutes this tier.
Business tier: consists of the system business rules and computing logic as a set of
business objects. This tier also interfaces with the data tier. The Mapping engine,
Data Access engine, Reporting engine, and Analysis engine constitute this tier.
Database tier: consists of the environment that allows persistence of user
information – both lookup and computed data. Physical implementation of this layer
can be files on the system or databases. In FDSS, relational database constitutes
this tier and houses both spatial and non-spatial data.
Figure 5-2 shows the high-level design for the FDSS platform. The whole architecture is
modular. The major modules are user Data Warehouse, Platform Components, and User
Interface. The model components are stand-alone and are not dependent on the platform

components. Both perform their respective tasks working with the same data on the backend
and are guided by the same user interface on the front end. The following sections discuss
the various modules in detail and showcase how all the requirements has been delivered by
the FDSS platform.
Figure 5-2 : High level design of FDSS
5.2.1 DATA WAREHOUSE

Data warehouse represents the Database tier. It stores all the input data to the model,
system data, and the output results. The data can be categorized as spatial and non-spatial.
All the spatial data resides either in the form of ESRI shape files and grids or Postgres based
PostGIS database. Post GIS/ Postgres is an open source geo-spatial relational database
system. All the non-spatial data is stored as tables in the Postgres database.
Spatial Data Layers: The spatial data layers stored in the data warehouse are:
• Fire station locations and inventory data at Fire Station level

• Land Use Land Cover classes by their use or occupancy
• Fire Risk Zone Map at district level
• Population density map at district level
• Road and Rail Network

5.3 Platform Components

Platform components represent the Application Tier. These components focus on the
application logic for all data access, mapping and reporting. These are generic components
that operate directly on the data warehouse and present the data in different views to the
user.
Data Access Engine: Data Access Engine provides access to all non-spatial data that are
stored in the Data Warehouse. This includes data viewing and editing capabilities. This
allows for bulk building inventory updates and extraction of results so the outcome of the
analysis can be reused for other applications.
Mapping Engine: Mapping engine provides all mapping capabilities to the application. The
major component in mapping engine is the Map Viewer that loads the spatial data and
displays the map and provides all basic map navigation functions like Zoom, Pan, Identify
tool and calculate distance. This engine also provides spatial querying capabilities like buffer
query and point in polygon query. In addition to this, the mapping engine also provides
capabilities for defining symbology for various map layers including themes based on a
range of values and unique values. All the layers are loaded with a predefined symbology.
The mapping engine provides the ability to view the hazard, damage and loss on maps using
predefined themes based on a range of values.
Reporting Engine: Reporting engine generates all the reports. FDSS provides a set of
preformatted predefined reports that can be printed or exported into Excel format. This
provides the ability to format the data into tables, generate summations, and create graphs.
The following reports are generated at district and State levels by the reporting engine:
- Infrastructure Report
- Gap Analysis Report
- Status report for individual Fire Stations, district and State levels for and other
reports required for decision making
The FDSS provides functionality to run GAP Analysis at two levels:

- State
- District
This system provides the option for running gap analysis for firefighting and rescue vehicles
specialized equipment, fire fighting manpower, and buidling, Infrastructure. User can also opt
to get output based on all the analysis parameters available.
User Interface: User Interface (Figure 5-3) comprises of the Presentation tier. This is the
part of the FDSS platform that the user interacts with. User Interface for FDSS can be
categorized into two types:
1) System Administration Interface
2) Application Interface

Figure 5-3 : User Interface for Base Analysis in FDSS. The example shows the States covered in the Pilot Phase
of the study

5.4 System Administration Interface

This is an individual stand alone component run at the server only. This desktop interface
allows the administrator to manage users and update exposure, thereby providing security
for other users and preventing unauthorized updation of the building exposure data. All the
data updation and maintenance is done through the system administration interface. Figure
5-4 shows the system administration interface of the application.
Figure 5-4 : System administration interface
5.5 Application Interface

Data Management: Exposure management provides the ability to view and query the
underlying default demographic and Fire Station inventory datasets.
Map Management: The Map management interface provides support for viewing the
information on a map by utilizing the Mapping Engine component from the Application Logic
tier. It offers the following functionalities:
• Displays the following layers by default as the application is loaded:
o Location of Fire Stations
o Administrative boundary maps
o Land use land cover map
o Road / Rail network
o Fire Risk Zone map

• Basic GIS tools like zoom, pan, zoom to selection, zoom to entire layer, location
attribute information etc.
• Creates following maps based on analysis results:
o Gap Analysis Map – showing gaps in existing resource, equipment
and fire tenders (Figure 5-4)
• Adds custom layers to the layer manager and performs visual overlays
• Views attributes information, queries and analyzes the spatial data layers
• Enables users to view thematic maps based on defined attribute values.
Analysis Management: The analysis management interface provides the ability to execute
the analysis. It allows the user the following options:
• View the fire risk analysis for any district or State
• Gap analysis at State and district levels
Results Management: This entails generating displays of results in pre-defined formats
based on user selection. Following are the various types of result views that are available in
FDSS.
• Reports providing predefined content in predefined format. This utilizes the
Reporting Engine Component to display various reports. Following is a list of
various reports:
- Fire Station Profile report
- Gap Analysis report
5.5.1 TECHNOLOGY
The physical servers also represent the logical needs elaboration servers and the physical
clients also represent the logical clients.

Figure 5-5 : FDSS - Systems Architecture

The Frontend is web based, and registered users can view all kinds of maps and
reports.
Middleware: It is the Web server that hosts the web site and coordinates between the
client and the backend servers for publishing maps and reports. Application Server
serves as the main point of contact for the web server for all functionalities other than
serving maps and GIS analyses. The application server is hosted in IIS 5.1 or higher
and requires Dot net Framework 3.5.
The backend consists of the following two components:
- Geo server and Geo web cache: This server handles map publishing and all the GIS
functionalities. For all GIS analyses, it relies on the Post GIS database server. Geo
server and Geo web cache are published in Apache Tomcat Server.
- Post GreSQL Database Server: This serves all the GIS and attributes data to both
the application and map servers. In addition, it also takes care of all GIS analyses
required for any functionality.
The technological framework for FDSS utilizes the following platforms:

5.7 Identification of Gaps in Infrastructure, Up-gradation and

Modernization Requirement
Gap identification is carried out in FDSS using the information captured as part of the field
surveys and stakeholder interviews, distribution of Fire Stations and risk analysis. The gaps
in infrastructure can be in terms of number of Fire Stations in both served and un-served
areas, availability of fire vehicles, fire-personnel and building infrastructure in the operational
Fire Stations, and availability of open area. Through the input of field survey work, risk
categorization, and infrastructure requirement norms, gap analysis is performed in FDSS at
the district and State level.
Gaps will primarily address the three areas:
5.7.1 INFRASTRUCTURE GAPS

This covers served/ un-served areas, unsuitable locations of Fire Stations, etc. This gap
analysis is conducted by using suitably modified SFAC Norms, population density maps,
existing Fire Station distribution and other infrastructural information obtained as part of the
field surveys. In addition, the risk information has been used to reflect certain aspects of risk
that affect the infrastructure. The outcomes of this analysis are information and maps that
show the infrastructure deficiency at district and State levels.
5.7.2 EQUIPMENT GAPS

The objective of this analysis is to identify gaps in equipment existing at various Fire Stations
against the population they serve, the hazards that the jurisdiction they serve is exposed to,
trained map-power available, average response time to a fire call, etc. This will result in the
identification of new types of equipment required, phasing out of old equipment and their
replacement, and equipment effectiveness analysis.
5.7.3 CAPACITY GAPS

This would cover the shortage of fire fighting personnel and additional training requirements
for existing teams, etc. This analysis is conducted using infrastructure analysis information,
equipment analysis information, population density, SFAC norms and risk information as the
primary datasets, and average response time. The primary outcomes would include the gap
in capacity in terms of number of additional fire fighting personnel required, and the
additional requirement of trainings on equipment, tools, technologies and emergency
management approaches.
Similarly, district/State/ country level reports on up gradation and modernization
requirements of existing Fire Stations including MIS, GIS, and communication systems are
generated by comparison of availability of existing resources and up gradation and
modernization requirements through gap analysis.
The outcomes of the above analyses are integrated to the Fire Decision Support System
(FDSS), so similar analyses at a later stage may also be performed by changing the
underlying datasets as things change on the ground.
5.8 Preparation of detail cost estimates with Capital and O&M

Investment Plan
Once gaps in terms of number of Fire Stations, fire-personnel, infrastructure (building,
vehicles and equipment), up gradation and modernization requirements of existing Fire
Stations including MIS, GIS, and communication systems are finalized, the investment and

financial analysis is performed. This will involve reviewing the outcomes of the gap analysis,
prioritizing them by district and estimating the cost of investment.
The investment costs is estimated separately for infrastructure development and
improvements, capacity building, and equipment procurement and modernization. This is
where the extensive experience of RMSI team in fire department operations, equipment
procurement, and training needs assessment and planning has been applied. For more
detailed information regarding the specification of firefighting and rescue vehicles and
equipment, please refer to the Vehicle and Equipment Specification report submitted by
RMSI.
The outcomes of this process are a detailed investment plan that shows year-by-year
investments prioritized by district, gaps and associated benefits. The financial plan
addresses investment for next 10-years in a year-by-year phased manner approach. The
financial tool has been integrated to the FDSS, which helps in generating various reports
related to detailed cost estimates with Capital and O&M Investment Plan for next 10 years,
and to prioritize investments. This is based on the current cost estimate and technological
enhancement. However, the tool have flexibility to change/modify the cost of various
infrastructural elements and re-regenerate reports for prioritization of the investment plan.
5.9 Institutional Assessment and Capacity Building Plan

The National Fire Service College (NFSC), Nagpur and other State Fire Training Centres
across the country are key institutions involved in improving the level of fire personnel
knowledge and their overall capabilities to face the challenges of fire-fighting. The RMSI
team surveyed NFSC Nagpur and Pilot State/UTs Fire Training Centres across the country
and studied their programs to delineate their role and relationship for improvement in training
facilities for fire personnel in the country.
Human resource bottlenecks at various levels of training fire officials (such as refresher‟s
training, breathing training in smoke, industrial training, specialized training to handle high
rise fires, etc.) to different cadre of officials, issue of language in training; physical fitness;
duty patterns (8 hours and 12 hours versus 24 hours); availability of accommodation in fire-
stations; pay-scale structures, and promotion progression etc. are studied in detail and
recommendations are made for their implementation.
There are many ways of discovering funding avenues, such as introduction of Fire Tax,
training programs to private sectors, tapping MP Local Area Development (MPLAD) funds
etc. These issues are important since fire personnel need to be dedicated and motivated all
times. For similar reasons, improvements in governance structure are imperative. Lack of
fire-personnel is another challenge. For this, revamping training facilities in the country is
another important aspect in any capacity building plan.
Computerization of fire and emergency services and strict audit by a central authority can be
one mechanism to ensure a good finance mechanism for capital expenditures and operation
and maintenance. Training of fire personnel in the use of computers is another aspect, which
is very important from the implementation perspective.
It may be noted that RMSI team is aware of past studies on the subject such as the
Recommendations by the SFAC and kept these studies in mind while making
recommendations for the Capacity Building Plan.
RMSI team has also prepared a detailed Roadmap for the Capacity Building Plan at country
level for its implementation in next 10 years.

6 International and National Norms

6.1 Literature Survey
Under this task, standards and practices that are being followed in various developed
countries for fire safety norms, such as in USA -NFPA (1211, 1710, 1720), Japan, UK, and
Germany, are studied and compared.
As per literature survey and personnel communications with fire officials in different
countries, international norms regarding response time (defined as en route time taken by
the fire fighting vehicle from the Fire Station to fire emergency scene, and turnout
time is not included in it) differs from country to country.
6.2 Response Time

The practices regarding response time of fire tenders/ambulances in different countries are
as follows:
6.2.1 GERMANY
The response from Germany (27.10.2011) is as follows:
“1. Concerning the response time in Berlin. On the basis of an agreement between CFO
and the Ministry of Interior the options are:
Calls in Risk Areas class A (higher risks) - 15 fire-fighters must arrive in max.15 minutes at
90% of all calls and
Calls in Risk Areas class B (lower risks) - 15 fire-fighters must arrive in max.15 minutes at
50% of all calls.
The standard turn out time of a fire truck is 60 seconds for professionals, as for
volunteers the turn out time should not be higher 4 minutes, otherwise the Control Centre
will automatically send a professional fire truck.
Ambulance cars must be at the scene within 8 minutes in 75% of all calls.”
2. Temperature problem - heating devices in the garage (close the doors) and additional a
electrical wire is going to the motor section of the vehicle for saving working temperature of
the trucks.”
From the above, it may be inferred that in Germany, areas have been divided only into two
Risk Categories (higher, lower) and response time in urban areas varies from 8 - 15
minutes. As far as turnout time is concerned, it varies from 1 to 4 minutes.

6.2.2 JAPAN
Fire Service laws of Japan and its background:
1. The Japanese system of laws and regulations regarding fire service law (Hierarchy
structure)
A .Law: Fire Service Act
B. Cabinet order: Order for Enforcement of the Fire Service Act
・Specify the type of building fire protection
・Technical standards for installation and maintenance of fire prevention equipment
C Ministerial ordinance: Rule for Enforcement of the Fire Service Act
・Details of technical standards for installation and maintenance of fire prevention
equipment"
D. Municipal ordinances: Fire prevention ordinance"
2. Requirements for Fire prevention equipment

All Fire prevention equipment are necessary to have national certification in Japan
(regulation not standard).
3. Background of Japanese fire service

・Fire service in Japan consists of one unit per municipality.
・Under the laws, fire prevention regulations are enacted by each of the
municipalities.
・Fire prevention regulations are slightly different for each individual municipality.
Japanese Regulation, the response time has not been determined.
According to the Fire Service Law Enforcement Order (not regulation), the fire panel shall
be installed where there are always people in Japan.
In large buildings, the fire panel has been installed in Guard Room. Security people are
always monitoring the fire panel.
At the same time the alarm is sounded, Fire tenders will rush to the site for extinguishing the
fire.
Time to reach the site, which varies depending on the building, assumed at 5 to 10 minutes.
(not determined by law).
2. Since, there are several Islands in Japan, is there any different Regulations for Islands?
Almost the same.
As you know, Japan is made up of three islands and many small islands. There has
prefectures, among which are divided into municipalities regardless of islands.”
From the above, it may be inferred that in Japan, each municipality has at least one Fire
Station and response time varies from 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon the location of
building.

6.2.3 USA
“There are three National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards that contain time
requirements that influence the delivery of fire and emergency medical services. These are:
1. NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency
Services Communications Systems;
2. NFPA 1710, Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by
Career Fire Departments; and
3. NFPA 1720, Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by
Volunteer Fire Departments.
NFPA 1710 contains time objectives that shall be established by career fire departments as
follows:
Turnout time: One minute (60 seconds) for turnout time
Fire response time: Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of the first
arriving engine company at a fire suppression incident and/or eight minutes (480
seconds) or less for the deployment of a full first alarm assignment at a fire
suppression incident
First responder or higher emergency medical response time: Four minutes (240
seconds) or less for the arrival of a unit with first responder or higher-level capability
at an emergency medical incident
Advanced life support response time: Eight minutes (480 seconds) or less for the
arrival of an advanced life support unit at an emergency medical incident, where the
service is provided by the fire department
The standard States that the fire department shall establish a performance objective of not
less than 90 percent for the achievement of each response time objective. NFPA 1710 does
contain a time objective for dispatch time by requiring that "All communications facilities,
equipment, staffing, and operating procedures shall comply with NFPA 1221." For the
purposes of NFPA 1710, the following definitions apply:
Dispatch time: The point of receipt of the emergency alarm at the public safety
answering point to the point where sufficient information is known to the dispatcher
and applicable units are notified of the emergency
Turnout time: The time that begins when units acknowledge notification of the
emergency to the beginning point of response time
Response time: The time that begins when units are en route to the emergency
incident and ends when units arrive at the scene
NFPA 1720 contains a time objective for dispatch time by requiring that "All communications
facilities, equipment, staffing, and operating procedures shall comply with NFPA 1221,
Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency Services
Communications Systems." NFPA 1720 contains no time requirements for turnout and
response times.
NFPA 1221 requires that 95 percent of alarms shall be answered within 15 seconds, 99
percent of alarms shall be answered in 40 seconds, and the dispatch of the emergency

response agency shall be completed within 60 seconds 95 percent of the time. The time
lines for dispatching are taken from NFPA 1221:
After the receipt of a call for assistance, the fire department will respond with the first
unit to that location within three minutes.
After receipt of a call for assistance, the fire department will respond with a unit to
that location, within four minutes, to 90 percent of area served.
After receipt of a call for a medical emergency, the fire department will respond with an
engine company to that location within four minutes and an ambulance within six minutes.”
From the above, it may be inferred that in USA, response time varies from (3 - 4 minutes) to
8 minutes.
6.2.4 UK
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is run by the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority
as part of a group of organizations operating under the „umbrella‟ of the Greater London
Authority. It is the third largest firefighting organization in the world, with 111 Fire Stations
(plus 1 River Thames-based station) from which it operates across the 1,587 sq km of
Greater London, with its resident population of some 7.4 million. This increases by a further
500,000 each day during working hours.
In the year 2005/06 the London Fire Brigade answered some 268,000 emergency calls and
attended nearly 156,000 incidents. On an average, the first fire engine arrived at an incident
within 8 minutes on 92 per cent of occasions, meeting the Brigade‟s target, and within 5
minutes on nearly 65 per cent of occasions. When required, a second fire engine was on
scene within ten minutes on 93 per cent of occasions, exceeding the target. (Hooper, Nov-
Dec, 2006; http://www.cadcorp.com/pdf/PA-firebrigade_ukv4i5.pdf).
Another recent review of “Fire and Rescue Service response times” (Fire Research Series
1/2009) concludes that response times have increased due to traffic conditions, which was
similar to the finding of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority thematic report,
which concluded that it now takes 50 seconds longer for a 1st appliance to arrive on
average and one minute longer for a second appliance.
From the above, it may be inferred that in UK, response time varies from 5 to 8 minutes.
6.2.5 INDIA
“Standing Fire and Advisory Council (SFAC) reviewed the norms in various countries, and as
given in the RFP, has laid down norms for the Fire and Emergency Services throughout the
country based on:-
• Response time, fire risk, and population
• Depending on risk category A, B, and C the recommended response time for first fire
tender is 3, 5, and 7 minutes, respectively
• One Fire Station per 10 sq. km in urban areas and one Fire Station per 50 sq. km in
rural areas
• One Rescue Tender per 3 – 10 lakhs population
• In rural areas, the recommended response time is 20 minutes
From the above, it can be inferred that SFAC norms are based on the idealized conditions of
the western world and would be too demanding, thus requiring some modifications.

To see the practicability of SFAC norms, RMSI did several simulations through network
analysis taking different average vehicle speeds for Delhi State. These different speed
simulations were presented on Nov. 02, 2011 to DFS officials and on Nov 03, 2011 to Fire
Advisor and Deputy Fire Advisor at DG, NDRF, MHA. After discussions with both DFS and
MHA officials, the average fire vehicle speeds on main roads has been taken as 40 km/hr
and minor roads as 20 km/ hr. While, for congested areas, such as Sadar Bazar, Delhi, the
average fire vehicle speed on main roads has been taken as 20 km/hr and for minor roads
as 10 km/hr, respectively. RMSI choose Delhi, because it has a high density of Fire Stations
in comparison to the rest of the States/UTs.
Taking SFAC norms as a guideline, RMSI analyzed the requirements of Fire Stations in
Delhi, keeping a response time of 3 minutes for very high-risk category, 5 minutes for high
category and taking response time in rural area as 20 minutes. It may be noted that areas
served by other agencies, such as the Airport and Military Cantonment have been excluded
from the gap analysis, so that there is no duplicity of Fire Stations in those areas.
Additionally, areas covered by forests, rivers, sparsely inhabited (small pockets of a few
houses, say in a river channel) etc. have also not been considered in the gap analysis. To
make a distinction, the Fire Stations in rural areas are designated as Fire Stations/Fire
Posts.
Thus, taking the vehicle speeds discussed earlier, and response time as per SFAC norms,
Delhi requires additional 120 Fire Stations in urban areas and 10 rural Fire Stations/posts in
rural areas (Table 6-1).
Table 6-1: Number of operational and additional Fire Stations and Fire Posts
required in Delhi
Urban Rural
Operational Fire Additional Fire Operational Fire Additional Fire

Stations Stations Station/ Fire Post Stations/ Fire Posts
51 120 1 10
As per SFAC norms, one Fire Station is required per 10 sq. km in urban areas and per 50
sq. km in rural areas. This seems to be based on average area per station over a large
area/State.
From the above analysis, the average area per Fire Station in urban areas in Delhi comes to
4.7 sq km, while in rural area; it comes to 62.5 sq km. This analysis also shows that the
average Fire Station coverage area in urban areas is too low when compared to the norms
specified by SFAC, which is 10 sq km in urban area. Moreover, population covered in such a
small area of less than 5 sq km is sometimes very low to justify opening of a new Fire
Station, thus contradicting the area based norm of SFAC. Moreover, additional required
number of Fire Stations will be too high and it may not be possible to set-up so many Fire
Stations in Delhi, where land availability in urban areas is scarce.
Thus, keeping in view the above analyses, RMSI reanalyzed the requirements of Fire
Stations in Delhi, by modifying the response time of 5 - 7 minutes for various risk categories
and keeping the response time in rural area as 20 minutes. Accordingly, the proposed
requirement of additional number of Fire Stations in urban and rural areas is shown in Table
6-2. In terms of average area and population served by the revised response time, the
average area served comes to 8.38 sq km (close to 10 sq km) in urban areas serving an
average population of 1, 61,289.

Posts required in Delhi

As discussed in section 6.2.4, Greater London Authority operates 112 Fire Stations in an
area of 1,587 sq km of Greater London, which is equivalent to on an average one Fire
Station per 14.2 sq km. A comparison of the proposed 107 Fire Stations serving an area of
1483 sq km Delhi shows that in Delhi there will be one Fire Station on an average area of
13.9 sq km, which is almost equal to the average area per Fire Station in Greater London.
Thus, keeping in view the above analyses, RMSI recommend to modify the SFAC norms
(response time and area based) to response time based norms for positioning a Fire Station,
as response area will vary from place to place depending upon the road network:
Depending upon the risk category, the recommended response time for first fire
tender is 5 - 7 minutes in urban areas and 20 minutes in rural areas.

24.1 Introduction
This State of central India is geographically located between latitudes 21.07°N to 26.87°N
and longitudes 74.03°E–82.8 °E. It shares its borders with Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan (Figure 24.1). Madhya Pradesh with a total
population of 72,597,565 (as per Census 2011, Table 24-1) is geographically spread across
a total area of 3,08,1245 sq.km. The State accounts for about 9.4 percent of the land area of
India. Before the creation of Chhattisgarh in 2000, which was carved out from Madhya
Pradesh, it was the largest State in India. A large land area of about 31 percent of the State
is covered by forests.
The geography of Madhya Pradesh can be divided into the following regions- Malwa, Nimar,
Bundelkhand, Chambal, Baghelkhand, Mahakoshal and the central Vindhya and Satpura
region. All these regions show distinct linguistic, cultural and geographical patterns. Malwa is
a plateau region in the northwest area to the north of the Vindhya Range. The Nimar
(Nemar) region lies in the western part of the Narmada river valley. It is in the south of the
Vindhyas, in the southwest region of the State. Bundelkhand has rolling hills and fertile
valleys and slopes downward the Gangetic plain. Baghelkhand is a hilly region, located in
the north-eastern area of the State, and it includes the eastern end of the Vindhya Range.
Mahakoshal region can be found in the south-eastern part of Madhya Pradesh and includes
the eastern end of the Narmada river valley and the eastern Satpuras.
The State, located in the central part of the country, experiences a subtropical type of
climate. Summer season in this State stretches from the month of April to June, when the
weather remains hot and dry with temperature rising up to 42° C. Monsoon sets in the month
of July and continues till September. Rainfall decreases from the eastern part to the State's
west with an average annual rainfall of 1, 370 mm. However, the districts towards its south
east receive heavy rainfall of even 2, 150 mm at times. The State experiences a dry and cold
winter during December and January.
Agriculture is the largest area of occupation in Madhya Pradesh. Around one fifth of the
cultivated land is under irrigation. This land is a fascinating amalgam of scenic beauty,
history and modern urban planning. Madhya Pradesh is famous for its legendary tourist
destinations such as the temples of Khajuraho, the majestic forts of Gwalior, Buddhist stupas
of Sanchi and the various wildlife sanctuaries that Madhya Pradesh is peppered with.
Currently, Madhya Pradesh Fire service has only 292 operational Fire Stations spread over
all the States (Figure 24-2), and a few Fire Stations out of 292 are being operated by Police
Fire Service. Table 24-2 provides the district wise details, i.e., number of operational Fire
Stations, geographical, population as per Census 2011, and average estimated population
served by each Fire Station in Madhya Pradesh. On an average each Fire Station in the
State is serving more than two Lakhs forty eight thousand population.

24.2 Field Surveys of Fire Stations for Data Collection

To have first-hand information on the distribution of the fire service stations across the
country, infrastructure availability and their status, fire fighting manpower etc., RMSI project
team has carried out detailed surveys of Fire Stations and collected data though individual
“Fire Station Survey Form” and Fire Headquarter Data Collection Form” as shown in
Annexure 1 & 2. The collected information for each Fire Station is following categories:
1. Fire station general information
2. Fire station infrastructure details
3. Communication systems
4. Water supply details for firefighting purpose
5. Human resources
6. Fire risk covered in the area under jurisdiction
7. Status of fire fighting vehicles
8. Specialized equipment provided (Specify whether kept in vehicle or in stores)
9. Other accessories
10. Fire calls and other fire incidence statistics (last 3-5 years)
Besides the collection of field survey data, RMSI team has also collected the location
coordinates (latitude, longitude) of Fire Stations using Geo Positioning System (GPS). The
geographical coordinate information is used for plotting all the Fire Station locations in the
map to perform GIS based spatial analyses. This is also used in the analysis of distribution
of new proposed Fire Stations and gap analysis on fire-infrastructure, based on risk-
category, response time, and population criteria.
24.3 Infrastructure Gap Analysis
24.3.1 FIRE STATION LOCATION GAP ANALYSIS
As discussed in section 6.2.5, response time of 5-7 minutes in urban area and 20 minutes in
rural area has been considered. With network analysis, ideal jurisdiction areas have been
delineated for all operating Fire Stations. In delineation of ideal jurisdiction areas, built-up
areas such as various types of residential areas and industrial areas with estimated
population has also been considered. After delineation of ideal jurisdiction area, un-served
gaps in urban agglomeration have been identified. These un-served gaps are shown to be
filled by new proposed urban Fire Stations. Table 24-3 shows district level summary of
number of operational and new proposed Fire Stations with population covered within their
ideal jurisdiction area.
Rural areas of Madhya Pradesh State are similarly covered with new rural Fire Stations. It
may be noted that rural populations are very sparsely distributed in the State. Hence,
locations of rural Fire Stations are demarcated to the nearest relatively bigger village having
population of more than 5,000 -10,000 or major roads intersection. District level numbers of
new rural Fire Stations are given in Table 24-3. Figures 24-2 to 24-12 depict representative

detailed maps showing delineated ideal jurisdiction areas for operational and new proposed
urban Fire Stations and location of new rural Fire Station in the State.
Detailed list of delineated operational, new urban and rural Fire Stations/Fire Posts in
Madhya Pradesh State are given in Table 24-38 and Table 24-39.

24.3.2 FIRE FIGHTING AND RESCUE VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT GAP

For firefighting and rescue vehicles and specialized equipment gap analysis at the
operational Fire Stations and the additional Fire Stations in urban and rural areas, the
following criteria have been followed, which have been basically taken from SFAC norms
and minor changes have been made with expert opinion, for optimization of resources.
1. Pumping Unit: For counting of existing pumping units at various Fire Stations,
equipment such as Fire Tender, Water Bowser, Water Mist Mini Fire Tender, Foam
Tender, Crash Fire Tender, Fire Engine, Jumbo Tanker, and Multi-purpose Tender
have been counted as one pumping unit. The SFAC criteria with some modifications
have been proposed for estimating the requirement of pumping units. Accordingly,
one pumping unit per 50,000 populations (subject to minimum one) up to 3 lakhs
population has been considered. For population of more than 3 Lakhs, one additional
pumping unit per Lakhs of population has been considered. For example, if the
population is 3,50,000 or more but less than 4,50,000, there should be 7 pumping
units. At Fire Stations, where pumping unit requirements are coming to 2 or more
units, half the units will be Water Tender and half the units will be Water Bowser, for
example, for 2 pumping unit requirement, one will be Water Tender and one Water
Bowser, however, for 3 pumping unit requirement, 2 will be Water Tender and 1 will
be Water Bowser. However, in hilly States, the criteria have been further relaxed.
Note: we have considered pumping unit as a complete unit with water carrying
capacity pumping unit, however, trailer fire pump with towing vehicle or a jeep fire
engine, QRT with mist unit, or motor cycle with mist set have not been considered as
a pumping unit. QRT with mist unit or motor cycle with mist set has been considered
as a unit to cut response time in congested areas in urban areas.
2. Foam Tender: For those Fire Stations, in whose jurisdiction small industrial area
also lie, one Water Tender should be replaced with Foam Tender.
3. DCP Tender: Minimum one per district or one for 8-10 Fire Stations. Fire stations,
having a large industrial plot area (in their ideal jurisdiction) of above 1.0 - 3.0 sq km,
should have additionally one DCP tender. For industrial areas more than 3.0 - 6.0 sq
km, there should be 2 DCP Tenders and so on.
4. Advanced Rescue Tender: One per district (minimum) up to 10 Lakhs population,
and one additional unit for every 10 Lakhs urban population.
5. Hydraulic Platform/ALP/TTL: One per district depending upon the presence of
high-rise buildings (height more than 15 m). Additional unit is to be provided for
districts having a large number of such building blocks, i.e., Central Business
Districts.
It may be noted that Hydraulic Platform/ALP/TTL is not a replacement for in-built systems in
high-rise buildings. Moreover, equipment is heavy and maneuvering on roads becomes
difficult, where there are overhead electrical lines.
6. HAZMAT Van: Hazmat van is used rarely and is a very costly equipment requiring
highly trained manpower. Hence, to optimize on resources and manpower, HAZMAT
van is not recommended for future procurement in the State. However, for that
purpose, an Advanced Rescue Responder is proposed (at Sr. No 4), which will have
equipment to handle hazardous material release.
7. Crash Fire Tender: Crash Fire Tender is not recommended for the State Fire and
Emergency Service. Instead, for Fire Stations in the funnel area on either side of the
airport, one WT should be replaced with Foam Tender depending upon the State
policy.

8. BA Van, Light Van and Control Van: One each per district. However, to optimize
on resources and manpower, we are proposing a BA Van- cum-Light Van – cum-
Control Van.
9. Hose Tender: One per district (minimum) or one for 8-10 Fire Stations.
10. Trailer Pump: Though Trailer Pumps are prescribed in SFAC norms, it is not
recommended for future use, as this needs an additional towing vehicle. In place of
this, procurement of Portable Pumps are recommended, which will be part of a Fire
Tender (Specialized Equipment at Sl. No. 12).
11. QRT: One each at Fire Stations serving a population density (total population in the
FS jurisdiction/area of jurisdiction, in sq km) above 30,000 persons/sq km in metro
and big cities, above 15,000 persons/sq km in other cities, or in congested areas
based on field-survey.
Note: The criteria of population density has been relaxed for hilly State from 15,000 person/sq km (in
plains) to 5,000 person/sq km in the Fire Station jurisdiction Fire Station
12. Motorcycle with 2-water mist sets: One each at Fire Stations serving population
density above 10,000 persons/sq km with QRT.
13. Fire Boat: One each at selected Fire Stations, in whose jurisdiction some inhabitated
areas exist near water bodies, such as lake, major river, sea, where fire fighting can
be better performed, through watercourse.
14. Ambulance: It is seen that Ambulance services are also with some of the State fire
services and in few other States this is looked after by the Ministry of Health
department of the States e.g., Rajasthan State has a modern fleet of Ambulances
(108), well equipped with GPS, medical equipment and staff under National Rural
Health Mission (Rajasthan), CATS (Centralized Accident Trauma Service, Ministry of
Health) in case of Delhi State.
It is observed during visit to the Fire Stations by the RMSI team that wherever the
Ambulance are available with fire services, they neither have the Paramedic staff, nor
adequate life support/normal equipment, and cannot be considered as an efficient
system. It is therefore felt that either ambulance service should be run by Health
Department through various hospitals / health centers or provide fully trained staff to
fire services with properly equipped Ambulances. Accordingly, cost of the ambulance
is not included in the gap analysis of the present study. However, the ambulance cost
may be added, in case, it is decided in a particular State that Ambulance service
should be part of fire services.
15. Educational Van: One per district and one additional unit for every 30 Lakhs district
population.
At rural Fire Station/ Fire Post, if the estimated pumping unit is two, then one water tender
with a QRT on pickup truck having 500 - 600 liters of water mist capacity along with a
motor cycle with two water mist backpacks will be provided. This will help in quick
response, as majority of rural villages inside roads are small in width and congested. This
will also help in optimization of resources. For rural Fire Stations/ Fire Posts where less
than 10,000 persons are residing within its jurisdiction, QRT and motor cycle with two
water mist backpacks has only been recommended.
It may be noted that if a fire is responded to immediately, it may not flare-up into large fire;
hence, QRT and Motorcycle are being considered as a quick responder and not as full-
fledged fire units. In case of large fires, nearby Fire Station(s) will provide support with Water
Tenders and Water Bowsers.

For reserve requirement, RMSI estimated reserve requirement of 20% at district level,
and these will be distributed to individual Fire Stations by the concerned fire officials.
This will help in optimizing the additional requirements of minimum one reserve at each Fire
Station.
Specialized Equipment:
Specialized equipment for Fire Stations in urban areas shall be provided as per the following
criteria:
1. Hydraulic Rescue Tool: One for each Fire Station depending upon the seismic
Zone IV and V, or Fire Station having urban population more than 1.5 Lakhs in its
ideal jurisdiction including Hydraulic Cutter, Hydraulic Spreader, Hydraulic Pump,
Power Wedge, and Hydraulic Rescue Ram depending upon the seismic Zone IV
and V or minimum one per district.
2. Combi-Tool: One Combi-Tool set shall be provided with each fire-fighting
vehicle.
3. B.A. Set with BA Compressor: Four B. A. Sets per fire fighting vehicle with
minimum one compressor per Fire Station
4. First Aid Box: One for each fire fighting vehicle (minimum two at each Fire
Station) with regular replacement of expired medicines
5. Thermal Imaging Camera: One for each Fire Station depending upon the
seismic Zone IV and V, or Fire Station having urban population more than 1.5
Lakhs in its ideal jurisdiction or minimum one per district
6. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE): One Set for each pumping unit or a
minimum of two for each Fire Station
7. Hydraulic Chain Saw/Cutter for Wood: One for each Fire Station
8. Electric/Petrol Chain Saw/Cutter for Wood: One for each Fire Station
9. Electric/Petrol Chain Saw/Cutter for Concrete: One for each Fire Station
10. Hand Held Gas Detector: One piece per Vehicle
11. Victim Location Device (Acoustic): One for each Fire Station depending upon
the seismic Zone IV and V, or Fire Station having urban population more than 1.5
Lakhs in its ideal jurisdiction or minimum one per district
12. Portable Pump: One for each fire fighting unit
13. Floating Pump: One for each Fire Boat
14. Smoke Exhauster/PPV: One per Fire Stations located in urban areas (minimum
one per district)
15. Pneumatic Lifting Bags: One for each Fire Station depending upon the seismic
Zone IV and V, or Fire Station having urban population more than 1.5 Lakhs in its
ideal jurisdiction or minimum one per district
16. Inflatable Lighting Tower: One per Fire Station
17. High Capacity LED Torch Light: One piece per vehicle
Note: Other smaller equipment such as ropes, Fireman Axe, Small Hammer, different
Branches/Nozzles, Foam Compound has not been mentioned separately, as these are
standard items for any Fire Station/post.
For rural Fire Station/Fire Post, following specialized equipment has been recommended:

1. B.A. Set with BA Compressor: Two B. A. set per fire fighting vehicle with one
compressor per Fire Station/post
2. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE): One set per fire fighting vehicle
3. Electric/Petrol Chain Saw/Cutter for Wood: One per Fire Station/post
4. Hydraulic Chain Saw/Cutter for Wood: One per Fire Station/post
5. Portable Pump: One for each fire fighting unit
6. Inflatable Lighting Tower: One per Fire Station
7. High Capacity LED Torch Light: One piece per fire fighting vehicle
8. First Aid Box: One per fire fighting vehicle
For reserve requirement, RMSI estimated reserve requirement of 20% at district level, and
these will be distributed to individual Fire Stations by the concerned fire officials. . The
replacement of condemned / major repair (off road) vehicles as well as instruments from
operating Fire Stations can be accounted as reserve and these will be distributed to
individual Fire Stations by the concerned fire officials. This will help in optimizing the
additional requirements of minimum one reserve at each Fire Station.
Communication Equipment:
For better coordination between Fire Station and fire fighting staff, communication plays an
important role. Hence, there is a need that each fire vehicle and Fire Station is equipped with
a communication device. Accordingly, following communication equipment for urban Fire
Station are recommended:
1. Static Wireless Set (VHF): One set at each Fire Station
2. Mobile Wireless Set (VHF): One per vehicle
3. Walky-Talky: Fire StationOne per Vehicle
4. Megaphone: One set per Fire Station/post
Additionally, at each rural Fire Post, each QRT should be equipped with 1 mobile wireless
set and 1 walky-talky.

24.3.3 FIRE MANPOWER GAP

SFAC guidelines have suggested manpower, including reserve for duty off, training, leave
for Station Officers, Sub-Officers (75%) and Leading Firemen and lower staff (25%). This
has been further estimated for two shifts for Leading Firemen and lower staff (Table 24-16).

SFAC norm (2- shifts)

However, Delhi Administrative Reform Department (ARD), Govt. of India has studied the fire
manpower requirement, and optimized it further for two-shift duty pattern. From Table 24-16
and Table 24-17, it is quite clear that The Administrative Reform Department (ARD, Delhi),
has already optimized the fire manpower requirement in comparison of what has been
suggested in SFAC norms. It may be noted that total number of staff is coming in decimal
places, as calculations are on pumping units including reserve staff, which has been
rounded of in the fire manpower gap analysis at district and State levels (Table 24-17).

7 Seven 3.75 7.50 15.00 101.25 127.50
Thus for optimization on resources, following manpower criteria have been suggested for
manpower gap analysis. Accordingly, total firefighting manpower gap in both urban and rural
Fire Stations in Madhya Pradesh State has been estimated, which comes to 40,327 (Table
24-19 to 24-21) against the present strength of 964 (Table 24-18)

In addition to fire fighting staffs, there is an urgent need of senior level fire officers for making
a well coordinated State level hierarchy and fire prevention wing for inspection, awareness
generation and training, so that recurrence of the fire incidences, such as Advance Medical
Research Institute (AMRI), Kolkata, in terms of their magnitude and frequency can be
reduced. Accordingly, to support Commissioner, Urban Administration and Development
Department, Madhya Pradesh Fire Services, additional officers at the levels of Director
(Technical), Deputy Director (Technical), Chief Fire Officers (CFO), Dy Chief Fire Officers
(Dy-CFO), Divisional Fire Officers (DFO), and Assistant Divisional Fire Officers (ADFO) have
been recommended. To meet the ideal requirement of officials, following numbers of total
officials have been proposed (including existing officials), which may be recruited in a
phased manner approach:
Director (Technical) :1
Joint Director (Technical) :2
Deputy Director (Technical) :2
Chief Fire Officer (CFO) :6
Deputy Chief Fire Officer (Dy CFO) : 12
Divisional Fire Officer (DFO) : 64 (8 per Fire Station)
Assistant Divisional Fire Officer (ADFO) :128 (4 per Fire Station)
It may be noted that for cleaning staff, we recommend hiring of Cleaners on contract basis.
For computation in financial analysis, we have assumed a fixed salary of Rs 7,000/pm, and
without any reserve over that.
Accordingly, existing fire manpower and gap analysis for all the districts in Madhya Pradesh
State have been carried out and are shown Tables 24-18 to 24-21.

24.3.4 FIRE STATION BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE GAP

Depending upon the number of pumping units, no. of bays in a Fire Station has been
estimated. However, in order to consider future growth in population, a minimum two bay
Fire Station has been proposed, even at a Fire Station having requirement of one pumping
unit. Accordingly, gaps in operational Fire Stations, new urban and rural Fire Stations have
been given in Table 24-22.

24.4 Investment and Financial Analysis

24.4.1 CAPITAL COST
Building Infrastructure Cost:
Table 24-23 provides details of the Fire Station building infrastructure cost analysis in
Madhya Pradesh State. The ideal requirement of land for a Fire Station is 2 ½ acres,
however, a 2 bay Fire Station may be constructed in a one acre land. It may be noted that
land cost will vary from time to time and place to place; hence it has not been added in cost
estimates. The civil construction cost estimation involves cost of Fire Station building
including stores, offices, residential quarters, static water tanks, which will vary in size
depending upon the number of bays (garage) in a Fire Station. Accordingly, total cost
estimates for one, two, three, five, and seven bay Fire Stations (based on the P.W.D. norms)
is about 150 Lakhs, 300 Lakhs, 450 Lakhs, 700 Lakhs, 950 Lakhs.

For prioritization of new Fire Stations/Fire Posts, the RMSI team has strictly followed risk
categorization and estimated population density in the jurisdiction of new Fire Station/Fire
Post as criteria. Accordingly, the priority for establishing new urban Fire Stations and rural
Fire Stations/posts has been given in Tables 24-38 and 24-39, respectively.
However, It may be noted that actual implementation of priority depends upon a number of
factors such as land availability, land possession, tackling any encroachment on available
land, getting construction clearances from various authorities for implementation of
construction work. Hence, Madhya Pradesh Fire Services may change the priority of a new
Fire Station depending upon the local situation and requirements.
24.7 Avenues of Fund Generation
Madhya Pradesh State can generate new avenues for funds from the followings:
Introduction of Fire Tax (1% of existing property tax)
Introduction of Fire Cess, which can be collected for auditing and inspecting various
occupancies for adoption of Fire Safety Measures besides training public manpower
for use of first aid firefighting equipment
Training programs at different levels and duration to private sector employee on
chargeable basis once State Training Centre becomes operational
Capitation fees for scrutiny of building plans
Clearance of building plans from fire safety point of view
Sale of condemned fire appliances, equipment, uniform articles and general store
items
Fee on deployment of members of MPFS along-with necessary equipment and
appliances beyond the jurisdiction of the State Fire Services
Standby charges on deployment of members of Fire Service along-with equipment
and appliances in the area for stand by for a specific duration can be charged except
the visits of Government authorities, or in public interest, if demanded by the district
administration
Training Charges from the external trainees sponsored by private industries for short
and long duration courses.
24.8 Capacity Building and Training Facilities
Presently, Madhya Pradesh State Fire Services does not have any training institute and
Firemen are being trained for a 6-months course at a private institute, named All India
Institute of Local Self Government. A few senior officers (sub-officers and above) have got
training in National Fire Service College (NFSC), Nagpur. Thus, there is an urgent need of a
full – fledged State Fire Training Centre for training of Fireman, Leading Fireman and
refresher courses to start with.
The roles of firefighter cannot be performed until and unless sufficient training is imparted to
the fire service personnel. The types of training and duration depend upon the type of entry
to the fire service department or change of responsibility on promotion. Broadly, there are
two entry levels in fire services in India; 1) Fireman level and 2) Middle level (Sub Officer/
Asstt. Station Officer). Immediately after joining the Fire Service, it is mandatory that every
fire personnel needs to undergo professional training.

In order to further strengthen the MPFS, the gap in training has been estimated for various
levels of fire personnel. The Fire Station survey and gap analysis reveal that there is a huge
gap in training need for existing staff. The previous section (section 24.3.3.) details about
huge gap in manpower for operational Fire Stations and need of additional fire personnel for
new urban and new rural Fire Stations. As per the guidelines of SFAC, immediately after
recruitment, fire personnel should undertake professional trainings. Moreover, there should
be refresher-training courses at an interval of 3 to 5 years for every fire personnel. The
following sections detail about the estimation of training need at different levels (fireman,
leading fireman, station officer, sub-officer etc.).
24.8.1 BASIC TRAINING FOR FIREMAN

The basic training course should provide practical experience of fire fighting to meet the
challenge in fire fighting operations. Fire personnel should also be trained for operation and
maintenance of fire fighting vehicles and equipment.
Estimated number of fire personnel who require basic training for fireman in operational Fire
Stations (after filling the gap of manpower), and additional new recruitment for new urban
and new rural Fire Stations is shown in Table 24-37. Additional requirement of Refresher
Training Course for fireman after every 3-5 years of service is also shown the Table 24-37.
Some of the special training for handling specialized equipment such as Breathing
Apparatus, Global-positioning System etc. should also be part of the Refresher course. As
a whole, Madhya Pradesh Fire Services would require to train 30,883 fire personnel in basic
and 16,145 fire personnel in refresher training in next 10 years. Therefore, State training
centre should have adequate capacity and infrastructure for meeting such training
requirement.
24.8.2 TRAINING COURSE FOR LEADING FIREMAN

While promotion from fireman to leading fireman category, fire personnel should undertake
training course designed for leading fireman. This training will provide both theoretical and
practical training required for effective deployment of fire vehicles and fire equipment as well.
Estimated number of fire personnel who require training for leading fireman in operational
Fire Stations (after filling the gap of manpower), and additional new recruitment for new
urban and new rural Fire Stations is shown in Table 24-37. In total, MPFS would need to
train at least 5,570 leading fireman for specialized courses in next 10 years.
24.8.3 OTHER SPECIALIZED TRAINING COURSES

Besides regular normal training course for leading fireman, every leading fireman should
also undergo at least one special training for multi-tasking performance in due course of
time. In many cases, the fire services need to face new challenges and play an important
role in other emergencies. Therefore, fire personnel must be well trained to perform in all
possible situations. Some of the other specialized trainings courses are mentioned below:
Breathing Apparatus
Collapsed structure – Search & Rescue
Advanced Search & Rescue
Flood Rescue
Chemical Disaster
Flood / Cyclone Disaster Response
Earthquake Disaster Response
Emergency Response to Rail Accidents
Hazardous Material Emergency

The syllabi for above courses are already provided in SFAC guidelines. Number of leading
fireman need to attend specialized course is also shown in Table 24-37. In total, MPFS
would need to train at least 3,538 personnel in other specialized courses in next 10 years.
24.8.4 JUNIOR OFFICER TRAINING COURSE

While promotion from leading fireman to sub-officer/ station officer fire personnel should
undertake a Junior Officer training course. This course should provide an understanding of
Fire Station administration, fire safety management and leadership as to be able to
command a Fire Station and command a fire crew in case of an emergency. Upon
successful completion of the training, fire officers should be able to identify components of
an effective fire service organization and planning requirement. The officials will be
responsible for implementation of fire safety and prevention programs at their assigned Fire
Station.
Estimated number of fire officers who need to participate in Junior Officer training course in
operational Fire Stations (after filling the gap of manpower), and additional new recruitment
for new urban and new rural Fire Stations is shown in Table 24-37. After filling gap in
operational Fire Stations, new urban and rural Fire Stations, Madhya Pradesh Fire Service
would require to train 3,468 junior officers in next 10 years.

24.8.5 DIVISIONAL FIRE OFFICER TRAINING COURSE

On promotion to divisional officer, every fire officer should undertake a Divisional Fire Officer
(DFO) training course. This course should provide with theory, principles and practices in
terms of Fire Station management, facilities, fire inspection as well as effective guidelines to
command fire crew and control at an incident site. This course should be designed to
promote them for their roles as senior fire officers. Upon successful completion of training,
officers should be able to identify components of an effective fire service organization, and
implementation of fire prevention and fire safety programs at their assigned area of
jurisdiction.
Estimated number of fire officers who require Divisional Officer training course in operational
and new Fire Stations (after filling the gap of manpower) is shown in Table 24-37. About 197
fire officers in MPFS would require this training in next 10 years.
24.8.6 AWARENESS GENERATION PROGRAMS

Besides attending regular fire and other rescue calls, the State fire services should also work
on awareness generation programs, and it should conduct regular awareness programs in
schools, colleges, residential areas, cinema halls, shopping malls, hospitals, NCC camps,
industries, Govt.& private offices etc. However, there is an urgent need for Madhya Pradesh
Fire Service to work on awareness generation programs in a more organized way, and
should conduct regular awareness generation programs in schools, colleges, residential
areas, cinema halls, shopping malls, hospitals, NCC camps, industries, Govt. and private
offices etc.
For large scale public awareness generation, each district is recommended with an
Education Van equipped with short video films as produced by MHA, distribution of
pamphlets on “DO”s and “DON‟T”s to prevent fire produced by MHA, live- demonstrations of
how to use “portable extinguishers” and how to handle small kitchen fires.

24.9 Limitations of the Study

1. In fire hazard and risk analysis, fire-load of specific industry has not been taken into
consideration. However, weightage has been given to the size of industrial area in
the fire hazard and risk analysis of the base unit (district level). An attempt has been
made even in the present assignment to go further down at lower levels. Providing
special weightage of type of industry will require building level survey including
estimation of fire-load for each industry, which is out of scope of present assignment.
2. Currently, Census (2011) has published only district level demographic data (the
Tehsil/ Block level data is still unavailable), which has been used for further
estimation and analysis purpose.
3. Floating population in cities has not been considered for distribution over the land
use (built-up area); this may be attempted in future detailed studies.
4. Non-availability of a uniform level of fire statistics of all the fire events in the past 5
years.
5. Designation, rank structure and administrative control are very heterogeneous from
State to State, which in the present State creates ambiguity while brining in at
National level. For example, Director Position pay scale in one State may not be
equal to that of Chief Fire Officer in another State. For the purpose of present
assignment, we have divided the rank/designation structure into 11 levels (level 0 to
level 10). For this, a system needs to be put in place through having a uniform
administrative structure at national level to State level. This may require development
and implementation of National Fire Act, which MHA is trying to develop in near
future.
6. The fire fighting infrastructure of forest department, privately owned companies/
organizations, military cantonment and airbases, nuclear power plants, nuclear
research reactors, heavy water plants, mines, ports, airports, oil exploration and oil
refineries are out of scope of present study. However, RMSI has tried to get
information about the fire-fighting infrastructure for these, and included whatever
information made available, as there are limitations due to security concerns. This is
more so, as result of this study may be made available in public domain with their
spatial location. Studying fire infrastructure in above areas will require special MOU‟s
with MHA and controlling agencies, and may be attempted in future studies to have a
complete coverage of the country.

24.10 Recommendations for Madhya Pradesh Fire Services

1. At present, State does not have Madhya Pradesh Fire Act, however, the State has
Municipal Corporation Act 1956, and Municipalities Act 1961, which were revised in
1984 and again amended in 2012. Both of these Acts contain one chapter on Fire
Service. Moreover, building-bylaws in the State were amended in 2012 by
incorporating the provisions of National Building Code (NBC, Part-IV). As per
seismic zoning map of India, Madhya Pradesh State falls in Seismic Zone III & Zone
II which is low to moderate seismic hazard prone area, however there is a need for
Madhya Pradesh Fire Act and strict implementation of fire safety codes in building
design and construction. National Building Code (NBC) should be strictly adhered to
in high-rise buildings, schools, hospitals, industrial units, institutions and public and
private buildings. Though majority of structures in Madhya Pradesh are low rise,
however, keeping in mind the growth of high-rise buildings in present and future and
State‟s low to moderate vulnerability to earthquakes, there is a need for strict
implementation of building codes in various types of occupancies.
2. Madhya Pradesh State Fire Services lacks firefighting manpower significantly and
there are large number of vacancies at all levels in the State in operational Fire
Stations, which need to be filled up at the earliest.
3. The State do not have a State Fire Service Training Centre and presently Firemen
are being trained for a 6 months duration course at a private train school (All India
Institute of Local Self Government), Bhopal. There is an urgent need of a full-fledged
State Fire Training Institute.
4. Instead of having fireman, driver, and operator separately, the State should recruit
fireman-cum-driver-cum-operator. This will help in optimizing the huge manpower
requirements. Since, these may not be readily available, the State should train the
new recruit in a systematic manner, and encourage all the existing staff, specially,
fireman and leading fireman to obtain heavy vehicle driving license. The State may
offer some incentive towards this, as this will help in optimization of resources.
5. Based on prioritization of Fire Stations, State Fire Services needs to add new Fire
Stations at a faster pace, as there is a large gap in number of Fire Stations.
6. To have a Computerization of Madhya Pradesh Fire Services, training of fire
personnel in use of computers is required, which is very important from the
modernization of point of view.
7. Online Vehicle tracking through GPS and development of a fully computerized
response system is another area for improvement.
8. Though fire service in the State is creating public awareness programs for schools,
hospitals, Govt. offices, etc. however, it is not up to the desired level due to lack of
trained manpower. For that purpose sufficient manpower at senior officer levels have
been recommended to have an effective State “Fire Prevention Wing”. The fire
prevention wing should have trained officials for fire inspection, awareness and
training, so that fire incidences similar to that of AMRI, Kolkata should not occur in
the State. The State should have a dedicated “Education Van” in each district for the
purpose. The van should be well equipped with short video films as produced by
MHA, distribution of pamphlets on “DO”s and “DON‟T”s generated by MHA, and live
demonstration of how to use “portable extinguishers” and handle small fires.
9. Periodic fire drills and fire-inspection of schools, colleges, hospitals, shopping
complexes, cinema-halls, multi-storied buildings, and industrial centers should be
taken care by the State fire services.

10. The Madhya Pradesh Fire Services should ensure that for operational duty,
physically unfit firefighter should not be part of team, and he/she should be allowed to
work in the areas, other than fire response.
11. For congested areas, and by-lanes where movement of Water Tender and Water
Bowser is difficult, QRTs and motorcycle with mist sets should be used for the fastest
response, supplemented by the Water Tenders and Water Bowsers by laying the
large hose pipelines. Additionally, State Fire Service should identify congested areas
and request district administration to decongest such areas with the help of police.
The congestion could be in terms of illegal extension of residential buildings, shops,
unauthorized parking on roads. For unauthorized parking, State traffic department
can also play an important role. Here role of fire prevention officials is important as
such, exercises are not one time exercise and should be carried out regularly.
12. Although State fire service does have some promotional avenues for their staff,
however, there is an urgent need to have merit-based promotion, so that deserving
employees remain motivated and do not leave the organization at midst of their
career.
13. The Fire Service in the State should have audit by a central authority to ensure good
finance mechanism for capital, and O&M expenditures.
