Fire Safety Awareness

The NHTSA told Reuters the agency "is aware of the incident and has reached out to the manufacturer for information."

The horrific fire tragedy in an apartment in Bengaluru earlier this month that claimed two lives reawakened awareness about fire safety issues. But too often, as the days pass, people fall back into complacency.

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.
