Welcome to Odisha Fire Service

Odisha Fire Service owes its origin to pre-independence era. It was in the year 1936 when Odisha became a separate state having its capital at Cuttack, the then British Police administration symbolically started Fire Service by putting some Fire buckets in front of its magazine guard at cantonment road, Cuttack. But during 2nd world war in the year 1942 when Japanese war planes started bombarding the coastal districts of Odisha specially in Kujanga & Paradip area of present Jagatsinghpur district, the British administration of Odisha decided to set up Fire Stations in the coastal districts.
