Prayagraj launches fire safety awareness campaign

Prayagraj's fire department has launched a major awareness campaign to prevent fires as summer approaches. The initiative targets residential, industrial, and rural areas, focusing on educating citizens about fire safety and prevention measures. The campaign includes mock drills in high-rise areas and training for rural residents on managing crop field fires. Firefighting equipment has been assigned to villages, and officials are working with local organizations to promote fire safety in densely populated markets. Authorities are also checking if commercial establishments have the necessary safety certifications and are urging businesses to conduct electrical safety audits. A recent survey found that over 40% of shops lack adequate fire safety measures and knowledge of emergency procedures.
