Delhi, a city of 14 million people, faces incredible odds when it comes to battling blazes.  45% of the population lives in unauthorized colonies and slums with no fire safety standards whatsoever. Rampant Illegal electrical wiring causes up to 80% of the approximate 5,500 fires that break out across India’s capital during the summer. Non-existent fire hydrants, narrow streets, water shortages and sweltering temperatures up to 50 degrees c make for incredibly challenging and unique fire fighting conditions.
