Koparkhairane will get a
fire station
By Dinesh Kamath
NAVI MUMBAI: Koperkhairane
was always badly in need of a fire station in its vicinity. Navi Mumbai
Municipal Corporator, a few days back, came up with a good news that
Koperkhairane would get a fire station. This pleased the residents of
Koperkhairane to a great extent. NMMC has also found a contractor who has been
assigned the job of constructing the fire station at Koperkhairane. More than
Rs 7 crores has been sanctioned for construction of this fire station.
Once the fire station gets constructed, 23 sectors in
Koperkhairane will benefit. Other places which will benefit are Ghansoli,
Mahape, Adavali, Bhutavali, Pawane, Khairne and Bonkhode.
These are places which have many residences, schools,
colleges, industries, factories and corporate offices. This being a commercial
area, a fire station was urgently needed here since there is always a danger of
fire breaking out here.
The construction work of fire station to get completed
will take more than one and a half year. The fire station will consist of parking
space for fire engines and enough space to accommodate staff members, and also
within the premises of the station there will be residences built for the fire
officers.
Previously whenever fire would break out anywhere within
Koperkhairane, the fire brigade would take a lot of time to reach the spot
where the mishap would take place and owing to this delay deaths and casualties
could not be prevented. But the emergence of the new fire station will enable
the firemen to reach the spot where the fire has broken out in matter of very
few minutes. This is the reason why the residents of Koperkhairane are heaving
a sigh of relief.
