The Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Goa is the fire brigade run by the Government of Goa.
The department has 15 fire stations throughout Goa.[1]
Several fire stations such as the one in Pernem and Ponda have been stated to be ill-equipped with only two fire tenders at each station.[2][3]
In 2010, a proposal was made to allow women to become firefighters, which would have made Goa the first state in western India to do so.[4]
In 2013, six Royal Enfield bikes were inducted into the fleet for fighting operations in congested areas. These bikes are equipped with fire extinguishers, wireless communication, sirens, and first aid kits.[5]
A fire fighting trainer Fransisco Clemente, represents the department as an athlete. He is also representing India at the 2014 Lusophony Games in Goa in long distance running.[6]
The directorate is the sole authority to issue a No Objection Certificate for fire safety. It allows people to register for issuing as well as filing incident reports on its website. [7]
