1) The document outlines fire safety protocols for organizations, including having up-to-date fire regulations, fire extinguishers, and infrastructure like sand pots and water pipes. 2) It recommends having a dedicated fire officer responsible for inspection, paperwork, and meetings. Fire drills should also be conducted monthly. 3) In the event of a fire, the protocol is to not panic, call authorities, fight the fire safely, clear the area, and determine the point of origin. Post-fire, reputation management is important.

1. FIRE PROTOCOL
Problem Anticipation Literature
Dr Ritesh Malik

2. Why is this information module
important?
• Fire is an entity which will breakout because of the lack of
structural infrastructure in India
• We need to be always prepared
• Legality involved
• Safety of our guests and team members
• Safety of the premises

3. Cause of fire outbreak?
• 90% of the fire outbreaks are because of an interim gadget
such as blower, fridge or AC short circuit
• ARSON: in 10% of the cases the fire is started by a hidden
maligner

4. What infrastructure should we
have to prevent a massive black
swan?
•
•
•
•
•
Fire regulations to be up do date
Extinguisher fuel (CO2) to be up do date
Papers of the refilling of the fuel
Sand in red pots on every floor (The most effective way)
Water pipes to be continuously checked, whether they’re in
working condition or not
• The temperatures of our electricity holding units at the
terrace should be always controlled. They are another cause
of fire outbreak

5. Fire In charge
• Every organisation must have a fire in charge.
• Responsibilities:
Inspector of the paper work
Inspector of the protocol
Inspection of all the electrical appliances
Total responsibility of the fire department of the organisation
Refilling of the fuel / sand / water tanks
Weekly FIRE meeting head

6. Legal
perspective
• All paper work
should be up do date
• All the guest ID’s
should be
accumulated, so that
there is no
discrepancy when
police enquiry
occurs
• A total new area in
the office dedicated
to the policy of fire
management

7. FIRE DRILLS
• Whenever the occupancy of
a business is low
• We should keep a fire
drill, this will help us
anticipate all the things
which might not work at
the time of emergency
• FIRE DRILLS should be
performed monthly
• A register should be kept
for monitoring

8. Smoke Detectors
• Public areas should have smoke detectors
• It is a must

Whenever there is an outbreak of fire
Don’t panic, but be on the highest action form
Call FIRE DEPARTMENT
Take all your team members and all the fire management
equipment's at the site and fight with the fire
Call the promoters and everyone involved in the business so that
we all can handle the situation together.
Control the fire but not at the cost of your life.
Clear the area.
POINT OF ORIGIN TO BE DETERMINED

10. Servo
• Every business must have a servo
• Electricity is very erratic in india. So a servo helps control the
voltage fluctuations

11. What your room should never have

• Any highly inflammable item

12. When you’re not in the room the
lights should get switched off
automatically
