WARANGAL: Following a recent fire incident at Station Ghanpur in Jangaon district, a fire tender took an hour to reach the spot. Though there were no casualties, the property damage could have been minimised if the fire tender had reached earlier. Many parts of the erstwhile Warangal district, especially rural and semi-urban areas, are facing the same problem, which poses a greater risk to lives and property in these areas. According to data from the Telangana State Disaster and Fire department, there should be one station per 50,000 people, which means there should be 15 stations in the erstwhile Warangal district. However, only 10 stations are located in the erstwhile district.
