Some of the recommendations are as follows:
- ensuring obstruction free passage of 6 m width for fire tender movement
- ensuring no parking zones around buildings for fire fighting
- clearing / pruning trees/lobbies/extensions, etc for fire ladder movement
- removing wooden partitions thus reducing fire load
- regular checking
- keeping balconies/staircases/emergency escape routes free from obstructions (it is common to see many office building corridors filled with broken chairs, cupboards, coffee/tea vending machines, old record bundles, etc)
