On April 29, a major fire erupted in a high-rise residential building in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, prompting extensive firefighting efforts. This incident follows another fire in Gurugram, raising alarms about fire safety in high-rise buildings, particularly during the summer months when electrical failures are common. Experts stress the importance of regular maintenance of air conditioning units, which are often linked to such fires, and recommend that housing societies increase their power load capacity to accommodate rising demand. Residents are advised to install fire extinguishers, participate in training, and use staircases instead of lifts during emergencies. Additionally, maintaining chimneys and ensuring the functionality of fire water systems and smoke detectors are critical. Regular fire safety audits, required every two years under the National Building Code 2016, are often overlooked, yet they are essential for assessing readiness against fire risks. As urban areas continue to expand vertically, the need for robust fire safety measures must be prioritized to protect residents effectively.
