Fire Department in Panchkula Always on Alert
June 20, 2013

It has been reported that the residents of Panchkula are dialling the helpline number of fire and emergency services department of the Panchkula Municipal Corporation for trivial issues. In fact the emergency service department has become one-stop solution to all the woes of the residents here.

In the last few months, the emergency services department had been busy with taking away the dead dog to treating the injured one and sometimes even settling personal fights. Residents dial the department the moment they are in some little trouble. Ironically, none of the complaints fall in the category of fire and rescue work.

Adding to woes of the department is fact they don't have a jeep or a car. So to attend the complaints they sometimes rush large fire engines. Officials say sometimes the people who call the helpline number even exaggerate issues forcing the personnel to run into a tizzy. The department gets about 7-8 complaints a month but none of them is for rescue works.
