Reviewed the functioning of the Delhi Fire Service, focusing on modernization, infrastructure upgrades, and strengthening personnel capacity to enhance Delhi’s emergency response system. While examining the proposed amendments to the Delhi Fire Service Rules, 2010, emphasized the need for broad-based consultations with residents, businessmen, and traders to ensure the framework is inclusive, practical, and effective. Aligned with the vision of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, every regulatory framework must promote ‘Ease of Living’ and ‘Ease of Doing Business’-ensuring robust fire safety without creating unnecessary hurdles for citizens. In view of the rising summer temperatures, also reviewed the Department’s Summer Action Plan and directed heightened vigilance. Additionally, stressed the importance of a comprehensive public awareness campaign to educate citizens on preventive measures, regulatory safeguards, and effective emergency response practices.

Delhi Fire Service: We Serve to Save On the eve of National Fire Service Day, the Delhi Fire Service bows in solemn tribute to the brave firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. As we remember the heroes of the 1944 Bombay Dockyard explosion, our hearts are heavy with the recent loss of our own Sh. Suresh Kumar, Leading Fireman (LF No. 96/56) of Wazirpur Fire Station. He sustained grievous burn injuries while bravely fighting a cylinder blast fire at Majlis Park on 22.02.2026, and attained martyrdom on 02.03.2026. His supreme sacrifice and unparalleled courage will forever guide our mission. This Fire Service Week (April 14-20), we honor the legacy of our fallen heroes by reinforcing our 2026 theme: "Safe School, Safe Hospital and a Fire Safe Aware Society". DFS is aggressively scaling up safety initiatives across the capital: Stringent fire audits for hospitals and commercial units. Free mock drills and evacuation training for Schools and RWAs. Extensive public outreach to tackle summer vulnerabilities like electrical faults and LPG safety. Fire safety is not just an institutional duty; it is our shared civic responsibility. We urge all citizens, institutions, and businesses to proactively review their fire readiness. Reach out to your local station for a community training session. Let’s unite to prevent hazards before they ignite, building a fire-resilient Delhi in honor of those who gave everything to protect it. 📞 In case of any emergency, always dial 101 or 112. #DelhiFireService #WeServeToSave #DutyFirst #NationalFireServiceDay

Hence all of you are requested to ensure strict adherence to the following fire safety norms. ⚠️ Mandatory Compliance Checklist 1. Evacuation Plan: Ensure that evacuation and exit plans are displayed properly at conspicuous locations. 2. Exits & Escape Routes -Keep Exits Unlocked: All emergency exits must remain unlocked and free from obstruction during operational hours. -Clear Passageways: Staircases, corridors, and lobbies must not be used for storage or blocked by festive decorations. -Signage: Ensure "Emergency Exit" signage is illuminated and clearly visible, even in low light. 3. Valid Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) You must possess a valid and renewable FSC. Operating without a valid certificate is a violation of the law and poses a severe risk to public safety. Check your expiry dates immediately. 4. Fire Fighting Equipment -Ensure all fire extinguishers, hose reels, and sprinkler systems are functional and serviced. -Smoke detectors and fire alarms must be in working condition. 5. Electrical Safety -Avoid overloading electrical circuits with heavy festive lighting/equipment. -Ensure temporary wiring for decorations is insulated and laid out safely to prevent short circuits. 6.

Delhi Fire Service Advisory In the wake of the recent tragic fire at a Goa nightclub: When you step into a nightclub, bar, or any crowded entertainment venue, take 30 seconds for your own safety—and for everyone around you. Before you start enjoying, just look around and ask:
→ Where is the nearest emergency exit?
→ Is the path to it clear, or blocked by furniture, decorations, or speakers? If you notice any fire hazard—overcrowding, blocked exits, loose wiring, or anything that feels unsafe—don’t hesitate:
Inform the management right away or call the local authorities. Your vigilance can prevent a tragedy and save countless lives, including your own. Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility Stay alert, save lives #WeServeToSave #DelhiFireService #SafetyFirst #GoaNightclubFire

Delhi Fire Service Achieves 100% Digitalization for Fire Safety Certificate Renewals, Bolstering EoDB Mandate The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) has completed a major digital transformation initiative to streamline the Renewal of Fire Safety Certificates (FSC), in full alignment with the Government of India's Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) framework. This comprehensive overhaul addresses critical systemic inefficiencies, specifically the high consumption of staff time on manual document processing (sorting, retrieval, and transfer) and the applicant burden of limited digital access requiring multiple physical office visits. The new, end-to-end digital system offers: Universal and 24x7 Accessibility: Applicants gain round-the-clock access to the unified platform, enabling applications from any location and facilitating online file movement. Complete Digital Coverage: The service has expanded from a limited scope of only 3 sub-occupancies with partial digital application to 100% end-to-end digitalization for all 29 sub-occupancies, ensuring seamless processing across the board. Citizen-Centric Simplicity: The renewal process is significantly simplified. The initial application requires the upload of only four mandatory documents (PAN card, residence proof, old FSC, and a copy of Electric meter bill), with subsequent renewals becoming a near 'click-away' process. Automated Workflow: The tedious manual process—including manual file routing, inspection forms, manual approvals, and physical signature requirements—is replaced by a highly efficient, digitized workflow featuring real-time applicant notifications and auto-generated digital certificates. By fully digitizing the workflow from application submission through inspection, approval, and issuance, the DFS has successfully diverted valuable staff resources from administrative tasks back to core duties. @CMODelhi @ashishsood_bjp @ChiefSecyDelhi @LtGovDelhi #DelhiFireService #WeServeToSave #DutyFirst #OnlineFSCrenewal
