The city of Surat will launch India's first integrated fire management system that can track vehicles such as Ola and Uber, enhancing emergency response and safety.
Surat is set to roll out India’s first integrated fire management system, a move that promises to modernise emergency services in the city.
The new platform will combine real‑time data from the city’s fire brigade with GPS information from ride‑hailing services such as Ola and Uber, allowing responders to pinpoint vehicle locations during incidents.
By integrating these data streams, authorities expect faster response times and more efficient allocation of firefighting resources.
The initiative is being implemented by the Surat Municipal Corporation in partnership with the Gujarat State Fire Service, marking a significant step toward smarter urban safety infrastructure.
