Fire department officials conducted a special safety audit at a busy shopping mall on Sevoke Road in Siliguri. The team checked all the fire safety systems on the ground level to see if the emergency equipment works properly.
Officials checked the main fire safety setup as well as the safety arrangements inside various shops. They tested the condition of fire extinguishers, their usability, and how well people can use them during an emergency. The station officer stated that the inspection was done following orders from senior authorities to ensure public safety.
The fire department tested the working capacity of multiple fire-fighting devices by using them directly. Officials checked if staff and citizens can use these tools correctly and escape safely if a fire breaks out.
This safety drive was launched to keep the general public safe, and similar checks will continue in other areas of Siliguri.
