Fire Engineer (FE)

The Institution of Fire Engineers (India) was established on the recommendations of the standing Fire Advisory Council of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Institution is a premier non-government organisation (NGO) and professional body registered under the Societies Act,1861,in the country dedicated to the cause of fire engineers and fire engineering profession. The Graduate Membership Examination conducted by the institution is recognised by Dept. of Education, Govt. of India for appointment to the post of Divisional Officer/Asst. Divisional Officer and below in Govt./Public sector enterprises. Background After independence in 1947 there was no recognised institute for imparting training in the field of Fire Engineering and Fire protection Technology. Personnal engaged in Fire service were acquiring professional competency by seeking membership in the Institution of Fire Engineers U.K. with a view to enhance their proferssional skills and qualification for promotional avenues for holding senior positions in fire services. The Government of India has set up National College for Fire in the year 1956 under the Ministry of Home Affairs by introducing various coureses for fire service professionals and also for inducting fresh candidates for Sub. Officer Course. Due to fast Industrialisation and rapid increase I fire hazards the NFSC could not cope up with increasing demands to impart professional training to fire professionals at various levels. The idea of setting up fire institution on the lines of IFE(UK) was eventually mooted in one of the meetings of the standing Fire Advisory Council setup under the MHA to provide qualified Fire Officers for the Fire Services in our country. Way back in the year 1973 a group of officers heading various fire services in the country founded this institution and got it registered undet Socities Act.
