The inaugural function of ‘National Fire Service Week’ was organised at Tata Steel Kalinganagar on Monday to pay homage and gratitude to the brave fire-fighters who do supreme sacrifice while saving lives and assets.
Prakash Sanjay, Chief, Security, TSK & TSM graced the opening ceremony of the National Fire Service Week as chief guest along with other senior officials. The event organised at Central Fire Station inside the plant premises was coordinated by the Security Department of Tata Steel Kalinganagar.
During the event, all officials took fire safety pledge post which a high-octane firefighting drill and rescue demonstration was displayed by the fire safety and rescue professionals.
During the week-long observance, a beeline of activities has been lined up for employees, students and community including quiz, awareness sessions, distribution of information leaflets.
National Fire Service Day, observed annually on April 14th, pays tribute to the exemplary bravery and unwavering dedication of firefighters, particularly in remembrance of the tragic S.S. Fort Stikine incident at Mumbai Port in 1944. The devastating fire resulting from the ship explosion claimed the lives of numerous firefighters who displayed extraordinary courage in the face of extreme danger. This day serves as a reminder of the ongoing sacrifices made by firefighters in the line of duty.
