Odisha forest dept proposes motorcycle fire blowers to combat heat exhaustion

Facing heat exhaustion among personnel, Odisha's forest department plans to propose motorcycle-mounted fire blowers to the government. This move aims to reduce fatigue and exposure to extreme heat during dousing operations, drawing inspiration from states like Maharashtra. The department also noted a decrease in fire incidents this year, attributing it partly to favourable weather.
