One of the most overlooked areas that is ultimately critical to internal security, is that of fire and emergency services and the affiliated auxiliary civil defence organization.

Does anyone have an idea of the total personnel strength of the fire brigades in India? What's the total strength? I've seen figure between 66,000 and 200,000.

Any assistance appreciated.

Any photographs appreciated too - esp of the civil defence organization

This can be moved to another heading, if appropriate. Question, why do we hear of these awful tragedies/accidents in India, but not in say, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Vietnam? I can recall 4 or 5 such gas leaks in India, over the last 2-3 years. But not one in those other countries. Is it that such disasters do take place, but they are localised and kept at a low profile? Or is it that India simply has more industry? Or India is more careless? India has a large chemical industry, so dumping would be an issue. Do those countries simply not have the same challenges?
