In an effort to mitigate the loss of life and property resulting from frequent blazes being witnessed across Mumbai, Mumbai Police organised specialised firefighting training for its personnel at Mulund police station yesterday.

The initiative was started upon recognising that police personnel are often the first responders at the scene. The sessions are meant for not only immediate action to control fires, but also to prevent further escalation.

The session was carried out under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 7) Vijaykant Sagar and conducted by Bharati Fire Engineers. Additionally, fire extinguisher cylinders were provided to be placed in police vehicles as well as the premises of the Mulund Police Station as well.
