Road Show Schedule

Greetings to all FSAI fraternity!!Change and new beginings – for the Nation with the new Modi Government.On behalf of Fire & Security Association of India, I am very happy to share the pride moment

for FSAI in bringing out another edition of “FSAI Buzz” – a bi-monthly newsletter.With the emergence of Modi’s government, we can for-see lot of development in Indian infrastructure in all cities including development of mega & smart cities across the country. In line with this idea, we can see large number of high-rise buildings, gated communities, state of art buildings competitive to world class high-rise buildings similar to ones in the developed countries such as US. This infrastructure development requires us to give priority to Safety & Security aspects such as fire protection, surveillance to the property and human life.This becomes a major challenge meeting the latest standards in designing and implementing by the construction industry. Meeting the environmental friendly standards for a safe building design working in tandem with architecture, electrical, plumbing services will play a major role along with fire safety, CCTV surveillance, automation.FSAI has been associated with engineering societies involved in the building services, IGBC, ISHRAE and IPA for supporting this integration and moving forward towards an integrated development.FSAI has to look forward for providing proper guidance in bringing out latest safety and security standards by way of publishing building codes and standards that are being developed and implemented by developed countries meeting our standards as per NBC guidelines suitable to Indian environment.FSAI has to play a challenge role to take the industry in proper direction in meeting the demands through their chapters across India.The manufacturers in the life safety and fire protection industry also have to lend a helping hand to FSAI in spreading the knowledge and necessity of the fire safety, security & protection against fire, Burglary, human safety due to the increased usage of high value electrical and mechanical gadgets and equipment in all walks of life.I congratulate the entire team of FSAI for having taken up the task of publishing the news letter – “FSAI Buzz” for spreading and promoting the knowledge in the field of safety and security in the country.I wish all the FSAI chapters a great success in promoting this noble cause for a safe and secure living standards and to see FSAI reaches greater heights playing important role in the countries development.K. Leela Prasad

install fire extinguishers at prominent places across the premises, install Fire Exit selfglo signages, Insulating rubber mats infront of electrical panels, Fire Blanket in kitchen etc. After installation of the same at correct locations, the training for the senior citizens was scheduled.The shelter home accomodates approx 60 senior citizens in their premises. It has its own kitchen and cafeteria. On the request of their Trustee Mrs Leena Deosthalee, this program was arranged especially keeping the safety of senior citizens in mind. As LPG is also used in the kitchen for cooking, training on LPG safety measures was also conducted for the kitchen

staff and all other participants. The training covered basic fire safety and fire prevention measures and survival techniques from smoke filled areas. The training concluded with live fire demonstration, wherein the kitchen staff, secuirty staff and few senior citizens were trained on proper usage of Fire Extinguisher and fire blanket.We would like to appreciate and recognise the dedicated efforts of Mr.Rajesh Shirke, Mumbai Committee Member, who has been relentlessly steering FSAI’s cause for the Mumbai Chapter.

FSAI Mumbai Chapter took up an environmental initiative of planting about 200 odd trees in the Aarey colony campus on 13th July 2014. The event began with Mr.Manoj Shenoy, Mumbai Chapter President and Mr.Suresh Menon, Mumbai Chapter Secretary, planting few trees along with their family members.

The other members of Mumbai Chapter then continued with the plantation of trees with their respective family members. All participants were treated with “Chai” and “Garam Bhajiyas” at the venue which they enjoyed while at work.

The fact that the participation was at full strength, including young and old people despite the heavy rains in Mumbai, was indeed a pleasure to watch. All the children present there were very enthusiastic and excited to plant the trees on their own. FSAI Certificates were awarded to every child who planted a tree as a token of appreciation for the good work done towards the environment.

‘Plant a Tree’ has been an extraordinary experience for all of us in Mumbai Chapter. We have noticed the excitement and joy on every child’s face, since they want to do something good for the environment in today’s world. Overall the program received good appreciation by all the members present at the function. With continuous support of FSAI members for such programs, we would like to conduct this event every year to make Mumbai greener and better.

We would like to thank Mr.Milind Rane & Ms.Anuja for their support during the event and all FSAI members as well, who extended their helping hand for this noble cause.

Last but not the least, we also would like to thank the Aarey Management and Aarey Police Department for their active involvement and providing necessary approvals towards smooth conduct of the event.
