Mumbai: Mumbai hosted the 19th International Fire Safety Conference 2025 on September 25, organised by the Institution of Fire Engineers, bringing together a wide spectrum of professionals dedicated to fire safety and emergency management.

The event witnessed participation from fire professionals, serving and retired police officers, emergency service officials, representatives from public sector undertakings, state fire organisations, the Mumbai Fire Brigade, and eminent voices from academia, media, and international emergency services.

A key highlight of the conference was the keynote address delivered by O.P. Singh, a 1983 batch IPS officer from the Uttar Pradesh cadre and former Director General of Police (DGP), who is widely recognised for his contributions to policing and disaster management in India. In his address, Mr Singh spoke on the theme of technological advancements in fire prevention. He underlined the urgent need to integrate drones and digital monitoring solutions in modern fire safety systems, not only to enhance response time but also to ensure greater precision in operations.

Mr Singh also emphasised the importance of capacity building within fire services, highlighting training and preparedness as crucial pillars for strengthening safety measures. Equally significant, he stressed on community outreach, urging authorities and institutions to build awareness among citizens so that fire prevention becomes a shared responsibility.

While speaking on the occasion, Ravindra Ambulgekar, Mumbai Chief Fire Officer, said, “This is the 19th International Fire Safety Conference and Exhibition, organized by the Institution of Fire Engineers along with fire safety experts from around the world. The event showcases advanced technologies in fire safety and prevention methods. Products featuring the latest innovations from across the globe are on display, and various conferences are also being held.”

He added, “The event was inaugurated by Mr. Sarangi, Director General of Odisha State Fire and Safety. It is a three-day event, and it is highly beneficial for us. There are AI-based equipment on display, which are crucial for modern fire services. It is important for us to adopt these cutting-edge fire safety technologies to enhance public safety and prevention efforts.”

The conference served as a platform to exchange global best practices, foster innovation, and encourage collaboration among stakeholders. With Singh’s vision-oriented address setting the tone, the event underscored the vital role of technology and community in shaping the future of fire safety.
