Factories & MIDC
Industrial fires start small and grow fast
Most factory fires start with something ordinary — an overloaded panel, a hot-work job, oily waste, or packaging stacked too close to a heat source. Warehouses add high racks and large stocks of combustible material. A fire audit finds these risks before they cause a shutdown, an injury or an insurance dispute.
Industrial and storage buildings are covered by the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006. Covered units must keep fire systems in working order and submit a maintenance certificate from a Licensed Agency twice a year (Form B); new installations need a compliance certificate (Form A). The Factories Act, 1948 also requires fire precautions in factories. FIRENET covers Pune, PCMC and the MIDC belts of Bhosari, Chakan, Talegaon and Ranjangaon.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do factories in MIDC need Form B?
Industrial buildings covered by the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006 must submit a maintenance certificate from a Licensed Agency twice a year. Units in MIDC areas deal with the fire authority notified for that area — we help you confirm which applies to your plant.
Can the audit be done without stopping production?
Yes. Inspections are planned around your shifts. Tests that need a shutdown — for example pump or hydrant flow tests — are scheduled with your maintenance team.
Does the report help with insurance?
Yes. The report lists each risk with photographs and recommended actions. Insurers and corporate EHS audits often ask for this kind of documented evidence.
