Delhi Allows Private Fire Safety Auditors Under Amended Fire Service RulesPreviousNext

Following the Vivek Vihar fire tragedy that claimed nine lives, the Delhi government amended the Delhi Fire Service Rules, 2025, allowing registered private fire safety auditors to certify buildings alongside the Delhi Fire Service. Auditors will be classified by qualifications, assigned unique IDs, and barred from certifying the same premises consecutively. The rules mandate IoT-based monitoring systems for real-time fire safety oversight and reorganize the city into multiple fire zones. Online fee payments for certifications are now permitted.
