Fire Disaster Management in Trains Using a New Technique of Water Pipelines-first Aid Mechanism

Increasing number of disasters with a large number of victims and significant social and economic losses are observed in the past few years. Prevention is always better than the cure for any kind of problem, and this very concept applies to the disasters also. Recent events can catch our eyes on them as how much loss we have to suffer in both as life and as property. Such fatal accidental problems can occur in our everyday life as we come across the causes of these disasters. There are many forms of disaster and each has a terrific effect on man and material. As the paper progresses the disaster caused on Indian rails generally due to catching of fire is been highlighted. In this context a wide survey on Indian railways has been done and the recent statics of the railway disasters for the past few years in general shows the accident cum disaster in the form of fire in train. Therefore such consideration is kept in mind and with respect to that, the case study is carried out for a local area where an idea of using a water pipeline along the railway tracks is proposed the methods to prevent these disasters are discussed in this paper. The proposal of running a pipeline parallel with the railway tracks which will contain water which can be very useful in case of any kind of fire disasters. These pipelines will have water, which are conserved by rain using harvesting system or any other form of waste water. Water that come out as sewage from houses and canals can be purified to a usable form which will be stored in the water tanks at every railway station and used at the time of any minor or major railway accidents (fire disaster).
