Kathmandu, Dec 27: Fire is the most common disaster in Nepal, causing significant human and economic losses. As dry season (February-May) commonly known for forest and household fire is approaching, preventive measures and emergency responses should be in place on time.

On average, over 70 people are killed every year in Nepal due to forest and other fire-related incidents, according to government statistics.

A total of 18,772 fire incidents occurred in Nepal from 2014 to mid-March 2023, killing 769 people and injuring 2,548 others.

To combat this threat, USAID Nepal is strengthening the country’s fire risk management capacity through various fire-related activities. It has trained 124 firefighters in eight partner municipalities, including Birendranagar. The trained firefighters are now equipped to train their communities in emergency response and fire prevention.

Birendranagar recently held a fire risk simulation exercise using its own resources, showcasing their preparedness and coordination. This is a huge step forward for local disaster response, said the Birendranagar authorities.

To further boost their capabilities, USAID Nepal has provided firefighters with advanced safety gear, enabling them to tackle fires safely and effectively, said USAID Nepal.
