Diwali brings a high risk of fires in homes and markets. The primary causes of fire incidents include firecrackers, burning earthen lamps, and electrical short circuits.

Precautions for short circuits and crackers

In the event of a fire caused by a short circuit, the primary recommendation is to immediately turn off the main electrical switch.

If clothing catches fire while bursting crackers, running is strictly prohibited.

During such an incident, instructions are given to immediately evacuate all family members to a safe location.
