BMC soon to be a hi-tech firefighter
In order to tackle slow response to fire emergencies, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is looking at new project from firms to modernise fire brigade communication network.
The fire department is suffering from the outdated system alert about fire and when people dial 101, the fire brigade has no way to check if an alert is a hoax.
The new system will be a hi tech setup comprising a fire alert unit in each building in the city. The address of the building will be fed into the unit itself and also will be displayed in the control room.
Firefighters will now get information about building layouts, the route to the location of the fire and even live feeds through this new system. Each building in the city will be installed with a fire alert unit. The unit will have a video camera, two-way audio channel and an emergency call point to send alerts
