Gujarat has become the first state in India to bring all major emergency services under a unified emergency response number, 112, covering police, medical, fire, women and child-related emergencies. The fire emergency service, earlier accessed through 101, was integrated into the 112 emergency response system on Wednesday. A senior EMRI official said that previously, fire-related calls made to 101 were handled by city-level control rooms, with information being passed on manually. Under the new system, fire emergencies will be routed through 112, enabling digital tracking of vehicle dispatch, arrival at the incident site, completion of the response and return of the vehicle.
