I would like to highlight here the need to have large fire extinguishers installed even at homes in India. Being an Indian I have lived here all my life and have seen drastic changes in lifestyles here over the period of 30 years, but when it comes to safety measures I don’t see much happening around it. Yes in offices, malls. Markets, hotels fire safety is of prime importance, but the residential houses do not have equipments to fight against fire. People do not look at it as something that we should be prepared for all the time as one never knows what could happen when. Even otherwise you might see a fire extinguisher placed in an office but how many people are there in the office who actually knows how to use it. It’s true, we do a lot of things for others to see that it’s done, but in reality is it actually operational. What is the use of equipment when the ones who are supposed to use it do not even know how to use it? Awareness is a must in this field, especially when lives are involved.
