The first fire station (Central Fire Brigade) was established in 1914 by the British regime. In early
days the station used to provide fire-fighting services to small towns, commercial areas and the port.
This small fire station was gradually upgraded.
Since central Fire Station was located right in the heart of the city it was converted into fire
headquarter immediately. Due to rapid growth in the population and expansion of industries in city area,
30 Fire Stations have been established in different localities of Karachi City, which are providing the
fire and rescue services to the citizens of metropolis and are prepared to face any natural disaster or
mishap such as rain emergency, flood, cyclone, earthquake, storm, all type of Fire, collapse of
high-rise buildings and major road accident.
Apart from the abovementioned services, each Fire Station provides backup and reinforcement to all other
Fire stations whenever required not only within the limit of City but even beyond its jurisdiction.
