Aqib Hussain Mir, told news agency JKNS that, Kashmir reported 41 fire incidents in first week of 2025, with Srinagar reported 9 incidents alone.<\/p>\n<p>Aqib said that the excessive use of heating gadgets is the primary cause. &#8220;People do not check the quality of gadgets while purchasing. It&#8217;s essential to check quality and brand andis is important to turn off these devices at night while sleeping and ensure quality heating products are used,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He added that in 2022 the department has been directed to increase fire awareness programs. &#8220;In 2024, we conducted over 4,000 awareness programs. After the major fire incident in Warwan, Kishtwar, the Director Fire and Emergency Services held a meeting, and more than 300 isolated villages were identified where fire services cannot reach,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about challenges, he explained: &#8220;Our challenges start when we receive a call. We assess how many structures are involved and whether the area is congested. One of the biggest issues is vehicles parked on roads, which hinder access. People&#8217;s cooperation is crucial; they should avoid wrong parking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that wooden structures and paneling make buildings highly vulnerable to massive damage in fire incidents. &#8220;I request people to use extinguishers, as the public is the first to control fire until fire services arrive,&#8221; he added.
