Watch Out for That Waste...,

BENGALURU: If you think garbage only makes your surrounding dirty and stinking, check this out. In the last three years, nearly 50 per cent of fire accidents reported across the state were due to domestic and industrial waste dumping.

Of the 4,828 fire accidents in the last three years, 2,398 cases were related to fire in garbage, according to Karnataka State Fire and Emergency Services (KSFES).  Though the reasons for the fire may be different, waste helps the fire spread.

Sources in the Fire Services said reasons for fire accidents include gas leakage, electricy short-circuit, and oil-related cause. In the last three years, 632 cases were related to gas leakage, 1,733 to electric short-circuit and 39 to oil.
“This apart, 2,398 cases are related to fire accidents due to garbage dumping. It could be old items in houses, garbage dumped next to compound walls, industrial or agricultural waste. A small fire can lead to big damage,” the source said.

An official said that most case of garbage fires are due to people’s negligence. “They keep some inflammable substance along with old items in their storerooms. This can catch fire. Some miscreants set fire to garbage next to an abandoned house or compound wall of the house. This is common. Also, to get rid of waste, people set fire to it, which is not good for the environment too,” he said.

A fire fighter posted in Bengaluru said that a few months back, there was a big fire at Shivajinagar after waste dumped next to a government school caught fire. “It took one-and-half hours to extinguish it. There was no casualty. It happened next to Shivajinagar BMTC bus station. If the fire was major, it would have caused a disaster. There was thermocol in the heaps of garbage that was set on fire,” he explained. Sometimes, just a cigarette butt thrown in garbage can lead to disaster, he said.
Director General of Police (Home Guards, Fire and Emergency) M N Reddi told Express many fire accidents are related to garbage. “But we the intensity of these accidents are not the same.”

Asked how well the force is equipped to handle such situations, Reddi said they keep increasing the number of men, equipment and fire stations.

“In the next five years, we want to have more stations and equipment that enable our men to reach the spot sooner and quicker. Safety is our concern,” he said.

Miscreants set garbage truck on fire
BENGALURU, December 13, 2015

With the number of cases of illegally dumped garbage increasing across the city, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) squad that has stepped up vigil caught three trucks laden with garbage trying to dump waste clandestinely near Sumanahalli on Magadi Road, in the wee hours on Saturday.

One of them was even set on fire by miscreants, which was put out by personnel from the Fire and Emergency Services.

A senior BBMP official told The Hindu that they had received several complaints about garbage from the core city being dumped illegally in the outer zones, especially on Mysore Road, Goraguntepalya and Kanakapura Road. “We had formed squads and health officials were keeping a vigil to catch these trucks. Early on Saturday, around 1.30 a.m., the squad caught three vehicles at Sumanahalli,” he said.

During enquiries, it emerged that the BBMP had earlier caught one of the trucks and had even lodged a complaint against the truck owner with the Kamakshipalya police. “After we seized the three vehicles, our officials punctured the tyres and took out the batteries, as we didn’t want the vehicles to be towed or taken away from the spot.”

The official said a police complaint has been lodged against Gangamma Devi Transport, which owns the three vehicles.

BBMP commissioner G. Kumar Naik, special commissioner Subodh Yadav and others visited the spot and urged the police to initiate stringent action if such cases are detected in future. Citizens have also been urged to intimate the nearest police station, if they find any garbage laden vehicle dumping waste illegally.
