In order to share information about various activities of the Fire and Emergency department with the Public and the Media on a regular basis, the Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services (KSFES) has created a blog. The blog http://blog.ksfes.gov.in/ will comprise of all important news, views and events on regular basis.
People interested in knowing about the department and the members from the media can simply access it by going to this site. They can also subscribe to its feed and receive updates to the blog directly on their email.
The blog will comprise information related to topics like various types of fire calls attended, modernization of the department, opening of new fire stations in the state, safety related info, awareness about disaster management and fire safety.
On an average, the department gets approximately 9,400 calls per year in the state. It has succeeded in saving 70% of properties involved in fires per annum and has also saved roughly about 3100 lives over the last five years.
It is imperative that such 'public good' or 'service oriented' department is always in sync with the public perceptions and requirements. There is need to create sufficient awareness about 'public safety' by making them aware of their duties and responsibilities. The role of media in this endeavor is highly significant.
The Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services (KSFES) established in the year 1964 falls under an umbrella organization consisting of the State Home Guards, Civil Defence and Fire Services. It has the dual mandate of fire fighting (including fire prevention and fire safety) and Disaster Management (including disaster preparedness), the latter being new addition to its charter of duties. The rapid urbanization and industrialization in Karnataka witnessed in recent years and concomitant increase in fire risks coupled with the need to maintain a leading edge in terms of an investment friendly environment has thrust the responsibility of evolving proper strategies for the modern day risks on the department for which it has responded effectively.
