Railway Protocols for Fighting against Fire

This video outlines the emergency protocols and responsibilities of railway personnel when encountering fire incidents on trains or tracks. The primary objective is the protection of human life, followed by the preservation of government mail and property. Staff are instructed to physically isolate burning carriages by detaching them and to de-energize electrical systems by disconnecting power sources and fuses. In addition to using on-board resources like tender water or steam, employees must promptly report incidents to station masters and may even recruit local civilians for assistance. Specific guidelines are also provided for extinguishing flaming track sleepers and managing electrical fires at stations. Ultimately, these rules ensure that fire containment and safety measures are executed systematically to minimize damage and service disruptions.
