The Tripura Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022
General202214 sections
This Act establishes a single state fire service to ensure coordinated response to fires and other emergencies. It places the State Government in charge of the department to deploy resources and manage operations. During an incident, empowered officers are allowed to take necessary actions like damaging property or closing streets to save lives. Regarding compensation, the legislation clarifies that if firefighters cause damage while acting lawfully, the state government seeks reimbursement from the negligent individuals or owners responsible for causing the fire, rather than holding the service financially liable for their own necessary rescue actions.
