Secunderabad: For more than a decade, the demand for a fire station dedicated in the Secunderabad custody limit on the GHMC neighboring route has hung fire.
Residents have sounded alarm because SCB has several commercial units, but only depends on fire station in the GHMC area.
“The SCB area has nearly 10,000 business units and also small-scale industries in Rasoolpura.
Even though we do not have a high increase like in GHMC, if there is a fire, we must depend on the TS fire service department,” said B Subhash from Bowenpally.
Given the fire in the field of SCB’s main office wing account in 2017, a retirement bhel employee said, “He brought notes and furniture.
They must depend on the fire station in Secunderabad.
Not having a fire station within the SCB limit is not acceptable.” According to the recording of the Telangana state disaster & the department record, there were 17 fire station in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad but did not exist between SCB and Shamirpet (to Hakimpet).
“SCB-Shamirpet stretches are very busy with hundreds of vehicles that move at certain times.
The fire could be a disaster here because there was no nearby fire station,” K Madhusudhana Rao, district firefighters, Secunderabad, told toi.
But if everything goes well, SCB may get its own fire station in the future that is not too far away.
The Secunderabad Cantonment Board official has agreed to build a fire station after a demand from the Fire Department but mired in delay over allotment and land funds.
A few months ago the work finally began in the teacher’s colony, said Rao, added that in six months the firefighting station would appear on SCB.
