Fire risk: The case of Delhi


Conceptual change from fire fighting to fire prevention
As far as the technological issues concerning public safety in urban areas, is concerned, the fire professionals, have failed miserably in making the architects and planners to understand the problems faced by the fire services in the buildings designed by them or an area developed by them. All are their wisdom. Every one is doing what he feels like resulting in fire safety chaos. Under these circumstances, we should not expect better results than what we are getting.
