Fire brigade number in Delhi, and all 71 DFS fire stations by zone with phone numbers
Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on
The fire brigade number in Delhi is 101. All 71 Delhi Fire Service stations by zone with the phone numbers on the 12 May 2026 list, plus HQ and NOC offices.
Quick answer
The fire brigade number in Delhi is 101: the call lands in the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) control room at Connaught Lane, which sends units from the station nearest the fire. Delhi has also announced 112 as its single emergency number under ERSS 2.0.
DFS runs 71 fire stations across the NCT's 1,484 km²: 67 static stations, counting headquarters and the Rohini academy, and 4 day-time stations, per its list of 12 May 2026. Sixty-three of them have a published phone number, listed below by zone and division.
To reach the right station, find your area's division in the zone table, then call that division's stations; for a fire NOC or inspection, the Fire Prevention Wing at headquarters is the office, not the local station.

Zone and division per the DFS Citizen's Charter (PDF created 15 September 2026), which lists the same 71 stations; spellings follow the 12 May 2026 list, where the Charter writes Keshavpuram, Jawalapuri, Udhyog Nagar and DSIIDC Bawana. DFS
Which DFS zone and division covers your area of Delhi?
DFS splits the NCT into 5 field zones under Chief Fire Officers, and those into 13 divisions under Divisional Officers. A division's email is the written route to its stations.
Each zone has a Chief Fire Officer, and each zone's Deputy Chief Fire Officer post was shown vacant in the September 2026 Charter, with Additional charges held by the CFOs. Nine sub-divisions have no station of their own and are served by neighbours: Delhi Cantonment, Karawal Nagar, Burari, Adarsh Nagar, Mundka, Chhatarpur, Deoli, Matiala and Bijwasan.

Should you dial 101, 112 or the station's own number in Delhi?
101 first. It is the number DFS's own pages give, and its control room decides which station responds.
Fire
101: DFS Fire Control Room
Calls land on 10 parallel lines in the headquarters control room, manned round the clock, and are passed to the station nearest the incident, which sends a pre-determined number of units. DFS says 101 works from a PCO without a coin. DFS
Any emergency
112: the single emergency number
On 20 January 2026 Delhi announced 112 as its single helpline for police, fire and ambulance under ERSS 2.0, with existing numbers folded in during the first phase. Whether 101 is retired was not stated. Business Todaynews report
Not for emergencies
The station's landline
Use it for a non-urgent query to the station in your area, such as a mock drill or training request. 4 static stations and all 4 day-time stations have no number on the list. DFS
Paperwork
A fire NOC or an inspection
Not a station matter: certificates and inspections run through the Fire Prevention Wing at headquarters. The Delhi fire NOC guide explains the process. DFS
How do you find the fire station nearest to you in Delhi?
DFS publishes no station addresses or map, so the station's name and its division are the way in. 4 steps.
1. Match your locality to a station name
Most of the 71 stations are named after the locality they sit in: Laxmi Nagar, Janakpuri, Nehru Place, Rohini Sec-16. Start with the station named for your area or the next one. DFS
2. Check its division in the zone table
The division tells you the neighbouring stations that back it up. In the West zone's North West division, for example, 7 stations cover the Rohini side. DFS
3. Call the landline for a non-emergency
Landlines on the DFS list are 8 digits; dial 011 first from a mobile. Tikri, Khera Dabar/Jaffarpur and Dwarka Sec-25 list mobile numbers. DFS
4. Write to the division for anything formal
Each division has an official email in the Charter, such as dosed.dlfire@delhi.gov.in for South East. Formal requests for training go to the Director at headquarters. DFS
Which Delhi fire office handles NOCs, inspections and fire reports?
The station fights fires and trains; the paperwork sits at Connaught Lane. 4 cases.
IfYou need a fire safety certificate (fire NOC) or its renewal
Apply to DFS headquarters (Form I to grant, Form J to renew); the Fire Prevention Wing under its Deputy CFO handles it. Fire NOC Delhi DFS
IfYour building's yearly fire safety declaration is due
The owner, occupier or fire safety officer files Form K every year with DFS headquarters, declaring the measures in good repair. Fire Audit Delhi DFS
IfYou need a fire report after an incident
Download it free from the DFS website; to correct one, file Form T with documents at the Dak/Receipt counter, first floor, headquarters. DFS
IfYou want to appeal a DFS order or notice
File Form R with the Appellate Authority under section 27(7) of the Act, with a Rs 5,000 bank draft to the DDO, Headquarters. DFS

Does Delhi Fire Service charge for a fire call or standby?
Firefighting and rescue inside the NCT are free. DFS charges only for a standby water tender or an engine sent outside Delhi.
As published
- Fire or rescue call inside the NCTFreeNo fee is payable to anyone for the service DFS
- Standby water tender, 6 hoursRs 5,000Subject to availability; apply to the Chief Fire Officer DFS
- Standby water tender, 12 hoursRs 10,000 DFS

- Short training course at a station or the Training CentreFreeLong courses carry a fee DFS
Engines sent outside the NCT or hired for a public or private function are charged; DFS does not print that rate.
What is missing or unclear in Delhi's official fire station list?
5 gaps a reader should know before relying on the list.
If No addresses: neither the 12 May 2026 list nor the Charter prints a station address.
Use the station's name and division; the headquarters address, Connaught Lane, is the only one DFS publishes. DFS
If 8 stations have no number: Vasant Kunj, Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, Geetanjali and the 4 day-time stations.
Call 101, or the next station in the same division. DFS
If R.P. Bhawan's extension is 4352 on the 2026 list; an older undated DFS scan printed 4325.
Flamekite gives 4352, read from the 2026 scan and the Charter's typed copy. DFS
If The list and the Charter spell several names differently (Kesav Puram or Keshavpuram, DSIDC or DSIIDC Bawana).
Both refer to the same list number; this page keeps the list's spelling. DFS
If The DFS history page still says 36 stations and 2,002 staff, figures from an earlier year.
Ignore it for counts; the station page and the 2026 list say 71. DFS
What should you tell the Delhi fire control room when you call 101?
The Charter asks callers for correct information first; these 5 points get units moving.
- Report every fire or rescue immediately to the control room on 101, with correct information. DFS
- Give the locality and the nearest landmark: the control room passes the call to the station nearest the incident. DFS
- Say if the fire is spreading; for a big fire the officer in charge calls more units from nearby stations by wireless. DFS
- Keep the road clear: give way to fire units and do not park or encroach where a fire tender must pass. DFS
- Learn to use the fire safety equipment in your building before you need it. DFS
What do the ranks on Delhi Fire Service lists mean?
The Charter's ranks and their pay levels, from the Director at Level-14 to the Fire Operator at Level-4.
- Principal Director (Level-14)
- Heads DFS; written requests and applications are addressed to the Director at headquarters. DFS
- Chief Fire Officer, CFO (Level-13A)
- Heads a zone: Central, East, North, South, West, Headquarters, FSMA or FPW. DFS
- Dy. Chief Fire Officer, DCFO (Level-12)
- Second in a zone; the Fire Prevention Wing's DCFO handles certificates. DFS
- Divisional Officer, DO (Level-11)
- Heads one of the 13 field divisions. DFS
- Assistant Divisional Officer, ADO (Level-10)
- Heads a sub-division, the level below a division; the New Delhi sub-division alone covers 9 stations. DFS
- Station Officer (Level-7)
- In charge of a fire station. DFS
- Static and day-time station
- A static station is manned round the clock; the 4 day-time stations work in the day only. DFS
- FPW and FSMA
