The Embassy Group along with Manyata Promoters gifted the long awaited fire station to the residents of North Bangalore recently. The new fire station, located at Manyata Embassy Business Park will enhance the safety of infrastructure of Hebbal and its surrounding areas. M P Prakash, Minister for Home, Law and Human Rights and Parliamentary Affairs, inaugurated the fire station.

The fire station for Hebbal was initially sanctioned by the Government of Karnataka in 1985 but the same was opened around 10 kms away in the premises of the High Ground fire station at Seshadri Road. However, in order to suit the purpose in the best possible manner, a relocation of it was proposed and Manyata Embassy Business Park not only provided the land but has also constructed the building at a cost of Rs 3 Crores.

The fire station will have 57 officals working in two different shifts. It will be completely equipped with all necessary fire fighting equipment including four primary vehicles and a number of support vehicles. Two primary vehicles with a capacity of 4,500 litres and another with 9,000 litres and a ladder of 37 metres will meet the safety needs of the area.

This initiative by the Embassy Group and Manyata Promoters has ensured that the fire station has been relocated to the area which it was originally sanctioned for by the Government of Karnataka.
