Sirens are not just sounds on the road-they are a call for hope, urgency, and life. When an ambulance is trying to pass through traffic, someone inside may be fighting for every breath, every heartbeat, every second. Your small act of moving aside can become someone’s second chance at life. ✅ Stay calm ✅ Give way immediately ✅ Do not block or follow the ambulance A few seconds of patience from you can mean a lifetime for someone else. The Andaman & Nicobar Police urges all commuters to drive responsibly and show humanity on the roads. #GiveWayToAmbulance #RoadSafety #EverySecondCounts #SaveLives @MediaRN_ANI @DGPANIslands @hgsdhaliwalips @Andaman_Admin @Traffic_ANP

Knowledge is the most effective tool in any emergency. As we observe Fire Service Week 2026, the Andaman & Nicobar Fire & Emergency Services reminds us that safety begins with awareness. The key to effective fire prevention? Right Extinguisher. Right Action. Right Time. Do you know which extinguisher to use? Here is your quick safety cheat sheet: 🚰 Water: Best for Class A (Wood, Paper, Cloth). Note: Never use on Electrical fires. 🫧 Foam: Ideal for Class A & B (Petrol, Oil, and solid materials). 💨 CO2: The go-to for Electrical fires and Class B fires. 🛡️ ABC Dry Powder: A versatile choice for Class A, B, & C fires (Wood, Fuel, Gas) and Electrical. 🍳 Wet Chemical: The safest option for Kitchen fires (Cooking oils/Deep frying). Guided by BIS Standard IS 2190:2024, our goal is a safer community—from our homes to our hospitals. Be Prepared. Stay Alert. Stay Safe. #FireServiceWeek2026 #FireSafety #SafetyFirst #FirePrevention #AwarenessInitiative @MediaRN_ANI @DGPANIslands @hgsdhaliwalips @Andaman_Admin
