Fire Safety Alert! Nashik to Take Strict Action Against Non-Compliant Buildings
Nashik News: As per the provisions of the Fire Prevention Measures Act, a fire audit is mandatory for every building in Nashik . The Municipal Corporation’s fire department has taken a strict stand to take action against buildings that do not comply with these provisions. The concerned establishments have been given a deadline of February 28, 2025 to submit the fire audit report and certificate of compliance with fire prevention measures. After that, the department has warned of cutting off the water and electricity supply of buildings that do not have a fire audit and sealing the entire building.
The Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life-Saving Measures Act 2006 and the amended Act 2023 and Rules 2009 have been implemented in the state since 2008.
