4.4.3 Industrial and Chemical Accidents and Fires<br />

Jalna District Disaster Response Plan<br />

Section IV: Capability Analysis<br />

There are six industrial estates in the <strong>district</strong>. Only Jalna industrial estate i.e. MIDC Jalna is<br />

the most active industrial area. The <strong>district</strong> administration with the help of DIC and Joint<br />

Director, Industrial Safety and Health analyzed the 3 hazardous industries of the <strong>district</strong>.<br />

The Lay-out of the 3 hazardous industries with their fact sheets is included in this plan.<br />

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, Aurangabad has given the report of 1 toxic and 6<br />

chemical industries of the <strong>district</strong>.<br />

The 3 hazardous industries have prepared their own <strong>disaster</strong> control plans and they take all<br />

measures to minimize the various damages due to accidents.<br />

In Jalna <strong>district</strong>, there are 4 Municipal Councils and 8 tahsils. Out of these Municipal<br />

Councils, only Jalna Municipal Council has its own fire brigade with only 2 fire fighting<br />

machines. Fire cases have occurred in various parts of the <strong>district</strong> during the last 30 years and<br />

as such the two fire tenders are insufficient to tackle the fires. The <strong>district</strong> administration<br />

needs more fire tenders and availability of fire brigade service at each Municipal Council.<br />

The Civil Hospital in the <strong>district</strong> headquarter has its own well equipped separate burn ward<br />

to help the fire victims. But besides this, the <strong>district</strong> administration is not equipped to give<br />

adequate support service to the fire victims.<br />
