NEW DELHI: All the preparations for a safe Diwali by the fire department failed to save the life of a 14-year-old from Nand Nagri who died after receiving 80% burns while bursting firecrackers on Tuesday.

The accident took place about 6.55pm in northeast Delhi. Diwakar was rushed to Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital where he died in the early hours of Wednesday morning. "His was the only serious case referred to the burns ward. All others were treated in the casualty section," a hospital staffer said.

In another incident, a woman was injured while lighting diyas at her home in Sector 5 in Rohini, north Delhi. She was taken to a nearby hospital with 80% burns where she is stated to be critical, a fire brigade officer said. Two fire tenders went to the spot to douse the fire, he added.

This Diwali, more than 1,700 firefighters were on the streets for over 36 hours operating out of their 55 permanent bases and 24 temporary ones. The number of fire calls received till Diwali midnight is 184, a drop from the 206 recorded last year. This year, though, the fire brigade continued getting calls through the night. A total of 66 calls were received between midnight and 7 in the morning.
