Visit to a Fire Station

Visit to Jamalpura Fire Station.

One of the fire in charge person at Jamalpura Fire station told me that there were less cases of children being involved in the fire. Only one case they could memorize of a 3 year old child who was sleeping in a room and  his mother was busy in kitchen when the child woke up and mistakenly closed the door. the child was locked in the room, so mother called at the fire station. Fire ambulance immediately reached the place and rescued the boy by entering in his room from a window. The family lived on a second floor of an apartment in Paldi, Ahmedabad.

Visit to Danapith Fire station.

Here I went to a control room where Mr. Dilip Gadhve who attends the call that come from the people and co ordinates with the near by fire station to immediately reach the place. I also met Mr. Bhavesh Patel who goes on field for rescue operations. He told that once there was a case of of a boy whose hand was stuck in the gap under the door. So the call came to them and they rushed to the place. They used Hydraulic Spreader (its a machine) to lift up the door and his hand was safely removed. They told me that there are many cases where a child falls in the bore-well and then they have to go and take him out. Most of the cases are of fire and water rescue. There have been 735 cases of fire rescue that are filed from 1st of April till mid of October.
