Firefighters on high alert in Sirsa for Diwali

The Fire Department in Sirsa is fully prepared to handle potential fire incidents during Diwali. To ensure quick response, 29 fire trucks and eight motorcycles are strategically placed throughout the district. The department has also cancelled all staff leave to maintain full force during the festival. Fire services are integrated with the emergency helpline 112, so immediate action can be taken if needed.

For the festival season, especially Diwali, the Fire Department is on high alert. With a recent ban on regular firecrackers, officials expect fewer fire-related calls but remain ready. Small fire incidents are expected and firetrucks and personnel will be stationed in areas with higher fire risk, including crowded markets and narrow streets.

Ashwani Kaushik, District Fire Officer in Sirsa, reassured that the department was on full alert. Firetrucks were stationed across high-risk zones to ensure quick action if needed. “We’re prepared for any situation,” he added.
