During a fire incident, the primary responsibilities of security personnel like CISF typically involve immediate life safety and containment measures. This includes rescuing persons trapped (A), attempting to stop the spread of fire if possible and safe (B), and facilitating the work of professional firefighters by calling the fire brigade and clearing access routes (C). Registering FIRs (First Information Reports) is a formal step usually undertaken by the police after the immediate emergency is handled and preliminary assessment of the incident is made, especially if foul play is suspected. It is not an immediate action required “at once” by CISF during an active fire.

– CISF’s role during emergencies like fire is focused on initial response: securing the area, assisting personnel, alerting professional emergency services, and potentially aiding in containment if trained and equipped.
– Registering an FIR is a function of the police (station house officer) based on information received about a cognizable offense. While CISF might report the incident to the police, they do not typically register the FIR themselves in the immediate chaos of an active fire.

CISF has dedicated fire wings in many large industrial undertakings and airports, equipped with specialized firefighting equipment and trained personnel. Their role is critical in the initial response phase before municipal fire services arrive.
