Fire Station Mapping

Introduction

After we have created the fire station master, the next step would be to map the Districts, Sub-Districts, and ULBs with the fire stations. The two points that are very important to note here are:

1. All the ULBs in the state may not have a fire department.

2. Usually, only the larger ULBs in the state have a fire department that caters to that ULB at the same time to all the surrounding smaller ULBs and rural areas as well.
