J-K sees 25% drop in fire incidents in 2025
In 2025, Jammu and Kashmir saw a big drop in the number of fires.
There were 6,039 fire incidents, which is a 25% decrease from the previous year.
The fire department responded to many calls and saved a lot of property worth Rs 5,000 crore.
They also did many safety checks in important buildings to make sure they are safe.
This shows that their efforts to prevent fires and teach people about safety are working well.
However, some people might wonder if the drop in numbers is because fewer fires were reported, not necessarily because there were fewer fires.
Jammu and Kashmir reported a 25% reduction in fire incidents in 2025, with 6,039 cases compared to 8,033 in 2024.
The fire and emergency services department responded to 6,039 fire calls, 59 rescue calls, and 53 false calls.
They deployed 322 fire tenders and quick response vehicles with the support of 2,157 personnel.
Timely operations saved property worth Rs 5,000 crore, with losses limited to Rs 300 crore.
A total of 3,728 fire safety audits were conducted in various establishments to enhance safety standards.
