Bengaluru Fire Department

"A building in the Wilson Garden locality of Lakkasandra can collapse any moment, some people are inside," flashed a message in the emergency control room of Bengaluru south's fire department on Monday morning.

At least 11 people were injured when a fire broke out at a restaurant on Tuesday night, fire department sources said.

We get a chance to see the world class fire-fighting abilities of the Bengaluru Airport Fire Department and also hitch a ride in its biggest fire trucks.

A fire broke out on Monday at the premises of Syngene, the contract research subsidiary of Biocon, but there were no reports of any casualties.

As Gurgaon near Delhi was battered by the rain into one massive no-go zone, it had a mirror image down south in Bengaluru.

According to the fire department, a Maruti Suzuki Swift caught fire in the evening but the fire engines sent to the spot could not reach the car because of the heavy traffic.

It has been five years to the day since the fire in Carlton Towers on Bengaluru's Old Airport Road claimed nine lives. Every year, the group 'Beyond Carlton', formed by survivors, and relatives of victims, marks the occasion with an event that honours firefighters, and aims to remind the general public of their role in fire safety.
