Mumbai has a web of high-rises in the city and suburbs, which includes both residential and commercial establishments. And, recent fire incidents have once again raised questions about fire safety in Mumbai.

Given the recent rise of fire incidents, the BMC has assigned ward wise responsibilities to fire officers in various zones. "It has been informed by Ch.Eng.(D.P.) that the Auto DCR process for C.F.O. N.O.C., Compliance is time consuming & it takes more time than stipulated under E.O. D.B. For smooth functioning of online approvals, compliance under Auto DCR following ward wise changes are done," BMC said in a statement.

These officers will be responsible for managing fire incidents. Further, they won't need to wait for an approval to attend to such incidents from the Chief Fire Officer (CFO). This will help in curbing the spread of fire, property damage and more.
