UP Fire Safety Officer Jobs: Yes, the UP government is indeed giving an opportunity to more than 2 Lakh candidates. These candidates will get the training in fire safety. The comprehensive plan has been formulated for this initiative, and the fire department will train these youth. These candidates who get training will find jobs in malls, hospitals, schools, and large commercial buildings. This initiative empowers the youth with meaningful jobs and enhances UP’s disaster preparedness and safety infrastructure
With this move, UP became the first state to train and employ youth in firefighting roles across private institutions.
Padmaja Chauhan, Additional Director General of the Fire Department, stated here on Thursday that an action plan has been developed in line with CM Adityanath’s vision. This will ensure the mandatory deployment of fire safety officers and personnel, akin to security guards, in private buildings.
This training programme will go from one week to four weeks. Those who complete the training will receive certification upon completion. This will enable them to secure jobs in malls and multiplexes, hospitals with 100+ beds, and non-residential buildings over 24 meters. They can also find jobs in residential buildings over 45 meters, and industrial units covering over 10,000 square meters.
UP Fire Safety Jobs for Uttar Pradesh Candidates
Uttar Pradesh is the first state to adopt the Centre’s Model Fire Service Bill-2019 and implement the Uttar Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services Act-2022. This legislation mandates deploying trained fire safety officers and personnel in private buildings, making UP a pioneer in this field.”
ADG Chauhan further highlighted that the Fire and Emergency Services Act-2022 and Fire Rules-2024 have emerged as models for other states. They are now studying UP’s framework to replicate it.
The training will happen at the Unnao centre, and all preparations are ongoing to support this large-scale training effort. The capacity of the Fire Department’s training centre in Unnao is expanding from 196 to 600 trainees. He added, “Plans are underway to establish regional training centres to make high-quality, technically advanced training more accessible to citizens and employees of private institutions.”
