Fire in Kolkata Barobazar Market damaged crores of rupees property.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

All of you may be knowing that a major fire broke out in a big Market ( Barobazar ) place in Kolkata. It has damaged property worth crores of rupees. Kolkata Municipal Fire Brigade, Indian Army, Indian Airforce all are working together for last 4 days but could not controll the situation , moreover flame is spreading with time.

The locality consist of many multistory buildings, lots of shops, godowns( mostly illegal construction & seems to be stored chemicals, diesel, textile materials, gas cylinders & lot more things which are not declared as per TV News channel ) without proper plan & fire protection system. Roads are not sufficiently wide for smooth vehicle movement., shortage of fire fighting water, non avilability of sufficient no of hydraulic Platform / TTL , lack of co-ordination between the fire fighting agencies, frequent visit of political leaders made the situation worst.

Live photographs / video have reached to every corner of the world.

We all are Fire & Safety Professionals with very good exposure in this field.

So let us start a brain storming session & forward your valuable suggestions about how to control the situation. This is the right time when we ( Indian Safety Professionals ) can contribute our best to our country. I shall send the compilation report of our suggestions to different News Agencies as well as to WB Chief Minister.

Thanks

Best Regards
