Mumbai, May 6 (UNI) The Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) on Wednesday urged citizens to strictly follow electrical safety norms and remain vigilant, warning that extreme summer temperatures further amplify fire risks.
With rising summer temperatures placing increased strain on electrical systems, the risk of short circuits, overloading, and fire incidents in homes, offices, and commercial spaces has significantly increased.
"Citizens have been advised to use safe and certified electrical connections for high-load devices and strictly avoid burning garbage, dry leaves, or other flammable materials. Regular inspection of LPG cylinders and gas pipelines by qualified technicians has been recommended, along with ensuring that fire safety systems in all residential and commercial buildings are fully functional and well maintained," said a senior fire official.
