Having the learnings of Disaster Management & Mitigation practises fresh in our minds from the Workshop on 20th January, it was a easy to grasp the relevance of such practices in our daily lives. The Forum Mall attracts a huge number of visitors every day. Also for the fire fighting apparatus to reach the Mall from about half a kilometer away from Dairy Cirle, would have been a very hardous task on the busy Hosur Road. What saved the day was the in-house infrastructure that was in place.
- Firstly, they had a good Public Address System.
- Secondly, they had good fire fighting water outlets- from which the fire personnel could draw water from inside the building.
Since the fire started from the AC ventillator, similar precautions by other buildings will be handy in such situations.
