MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS 

 

Fire has been mankind’s greatest blessing and at the same time has been a big curse. Fire if uncontrolled can destroy and finish establishment business and destroy property and life. Statistically it has been seen that fire per se does destroy life and property but the hot smoke and toxic gases generated by this uncontrolled fire causes damage to both life and property.

These gases when inhaled cause both internal and external injuries resulting in short term and long term medical complications and extreme cause even death.
