BHUBANESWAR: Delhi Fire Services and Mumbai Fire Brigade officers will on Sunday provide training to Odisha Fire and Emergency Service personnel on ways to tackle fire in high-rise buildings.
The special session is part of the two-day Assistant Fire Officers' Conference which got underway at Odisha Fire and Disaster Response Academy here. Inaugurated by DG, fire services Sudhansu Sarangi, the first-of-its-kind conference is aimed at enhancing leadership and operational preparedness among the state's fire officers and personnel.
Addressing the event, Sarangi emphasised the strategic role of fire officers in field operations.

This brainstorming event marks the beginning of a leadership journey focused on those ideals,' he said.
