We believe that this will help create more awareness regarding fire safety amongst citizens.”
The fire audit will be done at subsidised rates as a testament to the brand’s commitment to a fire safe ecosystem. Most of the infrastructure across the country are vulnerable to several fire hazards, often due to a lack of understanding building structure and the right protocols. The impact of fire hazards is significant not only on lives but also on loss of assets, valuable documents, jewellery, etc.
Throughout this campaign #BeFireSafeThanSorry, Godrej Security Solutions aims to increase proactive adoption of security measures amongst citizens and experts alike to fight fire hazards. The Mumbai Fire Department also acknowledged Godrej Security Solutions and FSAI as crusaders for fire safety and have applauded them for this initiative.
