Pimpri-Chinchwad To Get Central Fire Station

The industrial town of Pimpri-Chinchwad will finally get a well-equipped central fire station. It will be spread over 5 acre in Pimpri-Chinchwad-Bhosari industrial area where fire incidents are common throughout the year.
Municipal Commissioner Asheesh Sharma said the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has sanctioned the land. “Within next few days, we hope to get the approval from the MIDC for setting up the central fire station,” he said. The civic chief said the existing fire sub-station at Sant Tukaram Nagar was too small and did not meet the requirement of a growing town like Pimpri-Chinchwad. “The central fire station will be well-equipped with latest fire tenders and rescue and recovery vans. A separate budgetory provision has already been made for such a central fire station,” he said.
The central fire station will come up close to poligrass stadium and Rose Garden in Nehrunagar.
