Fire brigade number in India, and official fire station lists by state with phone numbers
Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on
The fire brigade number in India is 101; 112 also reaches fire where linked. Official fire station lists: Delhi's 71, Karnataka's 202, Maharashtra's brigades.
Quick answer
The fire brigade number in India is 101, the fire service number for a fire anywhere in the country; 112, the single emergency number, also reaches the fire service in states that have joined their fire control rooms to it, such as Tripura since 2019.
India had 3,377 fire stations on 31 December 2018, by Flamekite's sum of the state table in Lok Sabha question 1199; no newer national count has been published. Flamekite lists each station a state publishes: Delhi 71, Karnataka 202, and Maharashtra's city brigades and MIDC so far.
To reach the station for an address, open the state's page, find the district, zone or ward, and call that station's landline for non-urgent matters; a fire NOC is applied for at the fire service's headquarters or online portal, not at the station.

What does the national norm say about fire station coverage?
The Standing Fire Advisory Council's norms, as NDMA's 2012 fire services guidelines carry them.
| What | The rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Response time, urban areas | 3 to 5 minutes | NDMA |
| Response time, rural areas | 20 minutes | NDMA |
| Area per station, urban | 1 station per 10 km² | NDMA |
| Area per station, rural | 1 station per 50 km² | NDMA |
| Delhi against the urban norm | 1,484 km² over 71 stations is about 20.9 km² a station (Flamekite's arithmetic) | DFS |

How do you find the nearest fire station in India?
4 steps; in an emergency, skip them and dial 101.
1. Find who runs fire services there
A state fire service (Delhi, Karnataka) or the city corporation (Maharashtra's municipal brigades, with MIDC in its industrial areas). MFS
2. Open that authority's list
Flamekite's state pages reproduce each official list with its date, such as the DFS list of 12 May 2026. DFS
3. Match the area unit
Delhi groups stations by zone and division, Mumbai by BMC ward, Karnataka by zone and range. MCGM CONNECT 2026
4. Call the station or write to the district office
Landlines are for non-urgent matters; formal requests go to the division or District Fire Officer. OpenCity mirrornews report
Which fire office in India handles your fire NOC: the station or headquarters?
In the 3 states built so far, not the local station.
IfYour building is in Delhi
Delhi Fire Service headquarters, through its Fire Prevention Wing. Fire NOC Delhi DFS
IfYour building is in a Maharashtra city or MIDC area
The city corporation's fire brigade, or MIDC's fire service in its industrial areas. Fire NOC Maharashtra MIDC
IfYour high-rise is in Karnataka
Online on Seva Sindhu, under Fire & Emergency. Fire NOC Karnataka Seva Sindhu
IfYou are not sure your building needs a NOC
Check the building's height, use and area against the state's rules first. Do I need a fire NOC?
Why do official fire station counts in India disagree?
4 reasons a count on one page can differ from another.
If The last national table is for 31 December 2018; Delhi alone went from 53 then to 71 by 2026.
Use the state's own current list; treat 2018 figures as history. Lok Sabha
If Some services count headquarters, academies and day-time stations; others do not.
Delhi's 71 includes headquarters, the Rohini academy and 4 day-time stations. DFS
If Some lists are years old: MIDC's contact sheet dates from September 2021 while its page says 32 stations in 2026.
Each Flamekite page gives the date of every list it uses. MIDC
If Some official sites do not load: Karnataka's KSFES site failed its secure connection in October 2026.
Flamekite marks any list taken from a mirror as secondary. OpenCity mirrornews report
