Fire Safety Sectional Committee, CED 36 FOREWORD This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Fire Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. Temporary structures including large pandals normally erected at fairs, festivals and such other outdoor assembly have not, in general, been subjected to adequate regulations from fire safety point of view though in certain regions certain minimum fire precautionary measures in the construction of such structures are ensured before giving a licence or permission for the erection of such structures. Therefore, with a view to give necessary guidance with regard to fire protection measures to be adopted in the erection of such structures, it has been felt necessary to formulate this standard. This standard was first published in 1978, covering the safety aspects for temporary structures and pandals used by public excluding the temporary structures used for private functions. Since then the number of Indian Standards in regard to details of construction, fire safety and equipment have been formulated. The standard was revised in 1993 wherein having seen the more usage of temporary structures for private functions, the scope of this standard was enlarged to cover such type of structures also. This revision has been prepared so as to cover details of construction and use of fire fighting equipment according to the latest standards. Further the provisions have been aligned with National Building Code 2005. The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.

The range of measures utilized in DRM policies, strategies and actions are ultimately meant to contribute to the safety and well-being of communities, at the same time protecting assets and development gains and improving services to population. The Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) is an analytical model based on international standards which is being prepared for Mumbai that will guide Mumbai in efficiently mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the local level through a coherent set of policies, strategies and actions. The collaborative and participatory planning process adopted in the development of the DRMMP ensures consensus and ownership among the stakeholders and enables long term institutional sustainability. By adopting the DRMMP as a management tool for disaster risk management, Mumbai will be able to mobilize institutional and community resources and provide a coherent and efficient approach of actions prior, during and after a disaster.

  • Mumbai Fire Brigade’S Role Has Expanded and the Initiatives Taken to Manage This Transformation to Vijay Pandya
    4th April-DNA, Mumbai Edition ‘THE RESPONSE TIME WILL FURTHER IMPROVE SOON’ Subodh Kumar, Commissioner, MCGM, explains how the Mumbai Fire Brigade’s role has expanded and the initiatives taken to manage this transformation to Vijay Pandya As Mumbai Fire Brigade enters its 125th year of service, how has it evolved over this duration? The Bombay Fire Brigade came into existence in 1803 after the great fire of Mumbai of 1803 but was then unorganized. Initially Fire Brigade was using horse driven fire engines under the control of Commissioner of Police. On 1st April, 1887, the Fire brigade activities were fully handed over to Municipal Corporation and had the distinction of being the first organized municipal fire service in the country. Mumbai Fire Brigade has over the years evolved from a horse and cart driven service to a most specialised fire service equipped with 56 fire engines, 21 jumbo tankers, 18 specialised appliances including 6 hydraulic platforms and state of art appliances and equipment. How do you envisage the role of Fire Brigade in the present context of Mumbai as a city of skyscrapers, extreme population density and growing traffic? The important parameter to rate the efficiency of fire services is response time. The Standing Fire Advisory committee of Government of India recommends a response time of 15-20 minutes in urban areas. In Mumbai, the response time is 10 minutes in the city and 20 minutes in the suburbs. Of course, this is much lesser during the night and also exceeds when there is peak hour traffic and in extreme traffic conditions.
