Lessons from the Hollong Bungalow Fire: Fire Safety for Everyone in Kolkata
Here at Fire Prevention & Consultancy Services (FPCS), keeping Kolkata safe is our top priority. We were concerned to hear about the recent fire at the Hollong Bungalow, a popular tourist lodge located inside the Jaldapara National Park. Thankfully, no one was hurt, as reported by both India Today and The Indian Express.
This incident serves as a vital reminder: fire safety precautions save lives. Fires can erupt from seemingly ordinary situations, and their impact can be devastating. While the cause of the Hollong Bungalow fire remains under investigation, it highlights the importance of fire prevention measures in every building.

Empowering Kolkata with Fire Safety Knowledge
At FPCS, we believe knowledge is power, especially when it comes to fire safety. Here are some simple yet effective tips you can implement today:
- Test your smoke detectors monthly and replace batteries annually. Smoke detectors are your early warning system in a fire. A functioning smoke detector can save your life.
- Plan and practice your escape route. Having a plan in place can help ensure everyone gets out safely and quickly in the event of a fire.
- Keep flammable materials away from heat sources. This includes things like curtains, towels, and aerosol cans.
- Ensure all electrical wiring is up-to-code. Faulty wiring is a common cause of electrical fires.
- Never leave lit candles unattended. Extinguish all candles before leaving the room or going to sleep.
