At a review meeting held between Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation commissioner Praveen Pardeshi and Fire Department officials recently, it was decided that the Fire and Electrical Departments will conduct audits of all municipal properties.

A report stated that all civic buildings, including hospitals, schools and ward offices along with other office buildings will be audited. In a first, the Fire Department will also carry out evacuation drills at these sites. This action has been triggered after a fire broke out at the GST Bhavan in Mazagaon. The fire had spread rapidly across the ninth and 10th floors, destroying files, though thankfully there were no injuries or casualties.
