A fleet of 22 Quick Response Vehicles (QRVs) will soon be deployed in the Mumbai fire brigade. Four vehicles have already arrived and been deployed at Tagore Nagar- Vikhroli, Borivli, Goregaon, and Parel. This addition will strengthen the brigade’s efforts to reach emergency spots quickly.

Over the years, heavy traffic and narrow roads have posed challenges for fire brigade vehicles to reach the scene on time. In response, the fire brigade has implemented various changes and deployed vehicles and equipment to improve response times. The QRVs, capable of carrying a 500-litre water tank and rescue tools, are a significant addition to their capabilities.
