and damage to the property. Four basic fire safety principles
can be implemented to prevent or altogether stop such
accidents and incidences.
First is reducing fire hazards at your surrounding places of
staying or working. Second is constantly remaining alert
and keeping an eye on fire-prone places and instruments.
The third is always to have emergency exits available near
you so that you can save yourself and everyone else near
and dear to you in case of unfortunate accidents.

Fire
Fire safety is a necessity in living spaces. A fire can
cause permanent damage to buildings. Once caught,
fire spreads abruptly, and putting it out could be
fatal. Hence, every living space should have a fire
prevention plan.
An effective fire safety plan is necessary for residential
living spaces. Although thorough safety from fire is
unachievable, it can be prevented in various ways. Smoke
detectors can be very helpful in keeping your family and
home safe from unexpected fires.
There is no doubt that smoke detectors have saved
thousands of fire deaths. An increased number of smoke
alarms will lead to lesser fire injuries and deaths.

Safety First
Installing Smoke Alarms
Installation of smoke alarms is the first step to fire safety. A
smoke detector is installed on the ceiling of every room or
floor of the house. Whenever there is a fire or smoke in the
area surrounding the detector, it starts beeping. If it doesn't
stop beeping in the given time, the issue is directed to the
local fire brigade. If every home has smoke alarms, fire
deaths could drop by around 36%, as per a study.
When it comes to smoke alarms, only installation is not
enough. One should make sure that the fire alarm company
is verified. It is also vital to maintain the alarm system
regularly. It may malfunction if not checked upon regularly.
There should be at least one smoke alarm on every floor,
along with a heat detector in the kitchen. You should install
enough alarms to surround all areas where a fire could start.
Along with detectors, some also install a sprinkler system.
A fire sprinkler system consists of a water supply system. It
provides a suitable amount of pressure and flowrate to the
piping system. The fire sprinklers are connected to it.
Testing the Alarm System
After the first step of installing the smoke alarm system is
carried out, testing the system comes next. It needs to be
tested periodically to help ensure proper functioning. It is
absolutely necessary because parts of the smoke detector
can wear out over time, like batteries.
If your smoke alarms are battery-powered, a monthly test is
crucial. If your alarm system is hardwired, it is powered by
your home's electric system. They have backup batteries to
function during a power cut. Even the hardwired system
needs to check upon every month.
Start the testing process by alerting your family members.
The main switch needs to be turned off so that no alarm is
sent to the fire brigade. Smoke detectors depart high-
pitched sounds that may frighten children. Post a family
member at the furthest point away from the smoke detector.
It is essential to make sure that the sound is heard at every
point of the house.
Press and hold the button on the smoke detector and wait
for the sound. A loud sound may emit while you are
pressing the button. If the sound is weak, change the
batteries. Some battery-operated systems have a built-in
device that tweets when batteries get low. It is a signal for
replacement.
Batteries should be replaced at least twice a year.
Make sure that nothing blocks the grates of the smoke
detector. Also, check if the other alarms and devices are
activated and triggered. Some latest models have features to
silence false alarms and destabilize the system for a few
minutes.
Other Ways to Carry Out Fire Safety
Keeping an up-to-date fire safety system is essential. But so
is spreading awareness. Fire hazards are dangerous and can
be fatal. They should not be taken for granted. Therefore,
educating family members about it is important.
While testing the fire alarm system, practice escaping the
house as well. Institute a family emergency communication
plan. Ensure that all family members know who to call
when they cannot find one another. Make sure they know of
at least two ways to escape from any room they are in.
Institute a meeting point outside of your home for everyone
to gather.
When the house catches fire, the first thing to do is get out.
After getting out, stay there and get help. The drill is to
GET OUT, STAY OUT AND CALL FOR HELP.
STOP, DROP, and ROLL is a method to follow if a person's
clothes catch on fire. You must teach this method to your
family members, including children. It can lead to serious
injuries or even death if the fire reaches important organs of
the body.
Installing and maintaining a fire alarm system in every
home is a necessity. And having an effective fire safety plan
is a must.

TOTAL FIRE SECURITY SOLUTION
The Perfect Fire Safety Solution Providers
Mr. Gajanand Narware,
Founder and Managing Director
Journey of Mr Gajanand
Narware
After graduating from the National
Fire Academy (NFA), I started this
business. Soon, I was joined by Mr
Pradeep Kumar Dewanji, the
principal of my ﬁre college, and Mr
Wahid Khan Johar, from whom I
learned the nuances of this business.
Then Mr Sunil Shingji joined the
company and kept guiding us through
our thick and thin.
From the beginning, my parents and
friends were my strongest support.
And my wife, Mrs Shaila Narware,
always gave me the essential moral
backing. With the help of all of these
people, here I am, leading this
company and saving people's lives
from ﬁre accidents. And I hope that I
will always be able to do this with the
support of everyone around me.

The Most Reliable Fire And Safety Service Providers
Fire safety and security cannot
be taken lightly. As per the
National Crime Records
Bureau's (NCRB) last report, at least
thirty-five Indians die in fire accidents
daily. The number is 25,000 for a year.
And women account for almost 66% of
the total fire accident fatalities.
The best way to stop such kinds of
accidents is to increase awareness
about adopting the best fire safety
norms and systems in and around the
places where we live and work. And in
the case of any such unfortunate
incidents occurring, the best way to
fight it is to be well-equipped with the
perfect fire protection solutions like
fire alarms, personal protection
equipment, fire extinguishers, fire
hydrant, and industrial safety products.
Agni Vijay, the complete fire
protection solution provider, is a
decade-and-a-half old company that
can help you in this regard. They have
the perfect tried and tested solutions
with 125 different kinds of fire, road,
and industrial safety equipment.
In our search for 'The Most Reliable
Fire and Safety Service Providers',
Insights Success interviewed Mr.
Gajanand Narware, the Founder and
Managing Director, of this leading
player in the fire protection industry.
Below given are the excerpts from that
insightful interview.
Please tell our readers about Agni
Vijay.
We established Agni Vijay in the year
2007. Since then, we have been
working in the wholesale and retail
business of fire safety, road safety, and
industrial safety equipment and
products all over Madhya Pradesh.
We got our NSIC-CIBIL Performance
and Credit Rating Certificate of 'SE 3B'
in 2013. So far, we have served 5,000
private and government customers
across the state.
What made you venture into the
space of fire and safety?
Once, there was an incident of arson
where we lived. At that time, we had
no means to avoid and fight it. By the
time the fire brigade people arrived, the
fire had spread across the entire field
and caused a lot of damage, though no
personal injuries. It was a very life-
threatening and eye-opening accident.
It made me think a lot about the safety
of my family and loved ones. And the
idea became my passion, and after
becoming a postgraduate, I went for
the Diploma in Fire Safety. With that
diploma, I started this company. And
today, here I am, serving the people at
large by providing complete fire safety
solutions to them.
What kind of services do you
provide?
As I told earlier, we are a total safety and
security solutions providing company.
We have 100% genuine products. We
have a free and easy returns policy. And
we provide 24*7*365 days of support to
all our customers, franchisees, and tender
bearers.
Our complete services include,
• Fire extinguisher sales and
services
• Fire alarm systems and fire
hydrant
• Systems insulation and annual
maintenance
• Road safety product sales and
services
• Industrial safety product sales
• Gas suppression systems
• Fire doors and shutters
• Wet systems and sprinkler valves
What kind of challenges have you
faced while entering the fire and
safety service space?
The first challenge is making the
people aware of our fire safety and
security plants and work number of
plants.
The second challenge is the absence of
a Fire Safety and Security Act in
Madhya Pradesh. Due to this, the
overall industry scenario is bleak, with
very few Fire Safety and Security
companies in and around the entire
state. Thus, the availability of jobs and
recruitments are low.
The third challenge stems from the
second challenge, which is a lack of
skilled manpower to do this kind of
work.
The fourth challenge lies with the fact
that there are no manufacturing units
So far, we
have served
5000 private
and government
customers across
the state

for the production of fire protection
equipment in our state. We have to
order them from places like Delhi and
Mumbai.
How has Agni Vijay been affected
during this pandemic and what are
the steps taken for it?
During the time of the pandemic, our
work-orders came down to 20% due to
the lockdown and subsequent
restriction, which stopped the
movement of people. Our staff, who
were mostly from the outside of
Bhopal city, did not return, and we had
to recruit new people to begin our
operations again. But somehow, we
managed it.
For the staff who remained with us, we
provided monthly assistance and all the
benefits we could afford.
What advice would you like to give
to the younger generation of fire and
safety enthusiasts?
I would like to say to the younger
generation of enthusiasts that, like
other sectors, this sector also has great
potential. Especially the manufacturing
of safety equipment and products.
They can surely develop some units.
Whenever they will, they are welcome
to seek our assistance.
They can also join us as a franchisee,
as we are now a well-established brand
in this region. Or, they can go for the
skills training, as many posts of
firefighters and fire officers remain
vacant in different public and private
departments, including ours.
Where do you envision Agni Vijay to
be located in the long run and what
is your future?
If the Fire Safety and Security Act of
Madhya Pradesh gets a green signal,
then our industry will get a lot of
momentum, and business from
neighboring states will also come to us.
We are further focusing a lot on
expanding our presence across the state
via the franchise model. So far, we
have three of them, in Ujjain,
Chhindwara, and Itarsi, all in MP.
We also provide tenders for opening an
office/shop with all of our products
available for display and sales
(wholesale and retail).
How do you plan to adapt to the
changes in disaster recovery
solutions?
There are many items in our services
that have been used to tackle all kinds
of safety and security challenges in the
past. We will keep promoting and
selling them. We will also make sure
that in the time of urgency, they are
easily available to the people.
We are a

The infrastructure of a building is majorly related to
the industry it houses. Most buildings are built to
last for decades. These buildings are designed to
accommodate a large number of people and possessions of
the industry.
Industrial plants are becoming larger, and they are often
located near densely populated areas. A building may face
some disaster, man-made or natural. One of the most
dangerous man-made disasters is fire. Industries with
multiple buildings can be subject to fire hazards in their
premises. It could be a small flame caused by cigarette
smoking or an enormous flame caused during construction
or maintenance.
It threatens the lives and possessions of the industrial
workers and equipment. It could lead to massive damage
and loss. It would not only damage the resources but also
disrupt the environment or could even result in loss of lives.
Fire Safety
Evaluation
- a Must for
Multi-functional
Buildings

Safety Assurance

To avoid such circumstances, the industry should have a
well-designed fire safety plan. This plan should be designed
by experts. A certain set of protocols have to be followed to
avoid disasters. Everyone working on the premises should
be aware of those protocols of the fire safety process.
Safety Assurance
The most important aspect of fire safety is the continuous
surveillance of fire protection systems. In the United States,
there is a Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) to evaluate
complete levels of a building's safety.
It defines the inadequacy or suggested improvement to the
building. The system applies to laboratory buildings,
offices, prisons and jails, healthcare buildings, etc.
Safety assurance is crucial in an industry. A small flame can
lead to hundreds of deaths.
Assurance indicates that your organisation has functioning
policies and procedures to reduce risk in the event of a
crisis.
Careful planning and investment are crucial. Some of the
factors that should be taken into consideration are safety
devices, ventilation, and the evacuation process.
Fire Safety Devices
Fire safety devices such as smoke detectors and water
sprinklers should be installed on every floor, if not in every
room of a building. Maintenance of these devices should be
carried out regularly to ensure proper function in the event
of a fire. If the devices are battery-powered, regular checks
on batteries should be done without fail.
If the devices are electricity-based, ensure that they are
battery-backed in case of a power cut. These devices should
be tested every month to avoid malfunction during a fire.
Along with these devices, fire extinguishers also should be
installed in corridors.
Ventilation
Ventilation is a serious problem in high-rise buildings. Most
deaths are caused by inhaling harmful gases present in the
smoke rather than actual fire. Therefore, every industrial or
high-rise building should introduce heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
HVAC is the use of various technologies to manage the
humidity, temperature, and purity of air in enclosed places.
Its main aim is to provide comfortable indoor air quality.
Smoking
Smoking is one of the most unfavourable factors of fire. If
the flame of a cigarette is not extinguished entirely and it
comes in contact with flammable material, it may lead to a
massive fire.
The responsible authority should make strict rules regarding
smoking in certain areas of the building. They should also
make sure that everyone on the premises is aware of the
smoking rules and policies. Enough dustbins should be
available on the premises to avoid litter that may catch fire.
Cigarette buds should be extinguished and disposed of
properly.
Evacuation
In spite of advanced technology, evacuation can be tricky in
high-rise industrial buildings. Elevators are a quick way
out, but they can be dangerous during a fire. A fire could
lead to electrical failure. Therefore, using an elevator is not
advised.
In such cases, staircases are the best way to get away from
the source of fire as soon as possible. Fire exits are vital in
any building. It is a safe passage to get out.
Fire Drill
A fire drill is a method of practicing how the process of
evacuation should be done in case of a fire. A fire alarm
goes off, and the building is evacuated through the nearest
exit. Such a practice prepares everyone for a real fire.
Fire drills should be carried out at least twice a year to
educate people about the safety protocols. It is an efficient
way to spread awareness and alertness among people.
Fire safety evaluation of multi-functional buildings should
be done regularly and diligently. The slightest mistake
could lead to fatalism. Spreading awareness and education
regarding safety measures are the keys.

Fire Pumps Pvt Ltd
The Pioneers of Fire and Safety Services
t all started way back in 1958
Iwhen Mr. Dinkar Mali (the
founder member) a military
veteran (retired) joined hands with his
elder brother Shivram to start a small
mechanical workshop in Kolhapur city
to carry out repairs jobs of agricultural
equipment and tractor trolleys under
the name of Mahadeo Iron Works.
Mr. Dinkar Mali had three sons Sanjay,
Rajendra, and Shirish. Mr Sanjay
Mali and Mr. Rajendra Mali then
took over the company matters after
the sudden demise of their father,
Dinkar Mali, in 1986 and the company
was now shifted from Shiroli to the
present location –Gokul Shirgaon
MIDC carrying a new name as
Mahadeo Engg. Works where they
initiated Fire Vehicle Fabrication
business. With a new zest, the two
educated brothers worked hard day and
night.
In 2004, a new company was
incorporated – Fireﬂy Fire Pumps Pvt
Ltd. In the same place where the

business of fire vehicles was closed
and manufacturing of 'fire pumps' was
continued. The order book for such
pumps was full for consecutive years
and the brand Firefly had become
popular in many fire brigades pan
India.
The year 2006 was a major stepping
stone when the first work order was
received from Taiwan the company's
very first foreign purchase order in
history. This order was won against
many established giant brands in
Europe and the USA. The confidence
level about the quality was now at its
peak. At this point, Mr. Shirish Mali
the youngest of brothers joined the
company focusing on the marketing of
products.
A Need and The Solution
In the early days, the majority of the
vehicle-mounted fire pumps installed
in India were imported from outside
countries and there was no Indian
Manufacturer who had the capacity to
manufacture fire pumps of global
standards.
At that time Firefly Fire Pumps Pvt
Ltd. initiated its business in India to fill
up the vacuum of manufacturing of fire
pumps in India. Thus, the company
began with a vision to develop
firefighting pumps of Global Standards
which are manufactured in India itself.
Today, Firefly Fire Pumps Pvt Ltd is a
globally recognized brand in the Fire
Fighting Pump Industry and India's
largest manufacturer, supplier, and

A Challenging Start
Majorly, fire pumps were manufactured
by foreign companies. When Firefly
Fire Pumps Pvt Ltd entered the
industry, the need to develop product
understanding requirements by fire
professionals and manufacturing
products of a global standard that
would full fill the needs of the
customer was teaching and challenging
start for the company.
The Pandemic Rollout
The year 2020 was unprecedented, to
put it mildly. As a country — like the
rest of the world — it was a period of
loss, grief, learning, and growth. Many
people began working from home and
juggling a chaotic work-life balance as
schools and daycares shut down.
The company followed strict COVID-
19 guidelines as issued by the
Government. For example:
· Shifting from physical
meetings to online meetings,
which was tough.
· Ensuring all workplaces are
clean and hygienic.
· Surfaces (e.g. desks and
tables) and objects (e.g.
telephones, keyboards) are
wiped with disinfectant
regularly
· Promotion of regular and
thorough hand-washing
among employees
· Placing hand sanitizing rub
dispensers in prominent
places around the workplace.
· Temperature check of all
employees on a regular basis
· Maintaining social distance
between employees.
Advice to the Fire Enthusiasts
Firefighters have been around for
centuries in many different capacities
and scopes of practice. The fire service
has adapted to the world as it changes
with the only goal being to continue to
help people.
Firefighters are in great demand from
various industries though there is a
misconception that only fire brigades
and government fire departments
require them. Workplaces such as oil
companies, MNCs, chemical plants,
refineries, general industries, electricity
boards and construction firms recruit
fire safety managers.
Thus, enthusiasts need to have a basic
understanding of fire, hydraulics, fire
prevention, firefighting tools, first-aid,
communication systems, fire safety

engineering along chemistry and
physics.
Aspire to be Magnanimous
Firefly Fire Pumps is one of the largest
vehicle-mounted fire pump
manufacturers in India. It caters to
more than 60% of the vehicle-mounted
fire fighting pump market in India and
the company intends to increase
market coverage drastically to 80%.
Firefly wants to be Asia's largest
manufacturer and supplier of truck fire
pumps by 2025. It wants to be
recognized as one of the best fire pump
manufacturers globally, coming from
India. Its core values and ideologies
will definitely help the company to
achieve its goals.
The Fire and Safety Sector Today
At present, 'Fire and Safety'
requirements have increased to a great
extent but the development of fire
services has not made much headway.
The setting of industrial plants at a fast
rate by the usage of hazardous material
and construction of larger and taller
buildings have multiplied the problems
of firefighting. The fire hazards are no
longer confined to big cities and
manufacturing centres only. Vast
quantities of hazardous material are
daily moved by different modes of
transport leading to complicated fire
rescue problems.
Thus the fire services need to be
organized properly with adequate
infrastructure and equipment for
keeping pace with the advancement of
technology and economic growth.
Firefly Fire Pumps
has consistently
and successfully
pioneered the field of
firefighting pumps
by delivering innovative
products to suit
the demands of
fire professionals.
