UMC to launch Fire-Fighting Bullet Bikes
Soon this problem will be resolved with the arrival of fire fighting bullet (motor bike) introduced by Udaipur Municipal Corporation that will serve the purpose of extinguishing fire in the houses situated in the old city.
We have often come across certain challenges where the fire engines are incapable of responding efficiently to situations of fire eruption due to late arrival because of congested lanes or they have to return as the vehicles get jammed on narrow roads of the old city.
Soon this problem will be resolved with the arrival of fire fighting bullet (motor bike) introduced by Udaipur Municipal Corporation that will serve the purpose of extinguishing fire in the houses situated in the old city.
On Wednesday, Mayor Chandra Singh Kothari, Chief Fire Officer Harish Thanvi and Jai Singh took the demonstration of the bike in the town area. Veniram Salvi, president of Apdha Prabandhak Fire Brigade Sahayata Samiti of UMC informed that the tender process of the facility will be soon initiated.
This is to consider that UMC presently owns 10 fire engines which seems inefficient in reaching the tight, congested lanes of the city at the time of emergency which is a matter of concern as there are 18 wards situated within the walled city area; being the most crowded too.
The bikes are designed as fire fighting vehicles equipped with 10 Liter of fire extinguishers on each side. Besides, these bikes will also have small equipment attached that can be used at situations of fire caused by short circuit. Built with alarm system, the bikes will be able to rush towards the scene hassle free.
