Congratulations to the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) for their exceptional performance at the World Police & Fire Games 2025 in Alabama, USA, where the team secured 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals, earning international recognition for their courage, discipline, and excellence. The contingent of six members — four women and two men — was ably led by Dr. Deepak Ghosh, Deputy Chief Fire Officer (MFB), whose leadership and personal accomplishment as Bronze Medalist in the Ultimate Firefighter Competition reflect the true spirit of Indian firefighting.
India’s overall performance at WPFG 2025 was outstanding, ranking third globally with 588 medals, yet the contribution of Mumbai Fire Brigade holds special significance as a showcase of urban resilience, operational preparedness, and professional excellence.
In recognition of these achievements, the Mumbai Fire Brigade team and the entire contingent led by Dr. Deepak Ghosh were conferred with the prestigious King’s Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement on 13th August 2025 at the iconic Hotel Taj Mahal Palace & Towers, Mumbai. This honor not only celebrated their victorious medal tally but also positioned MFB as a symbol of innovation, endurance, and international competence in the fire and safety sector.
Looking ahead, the team continues to raise India’s profile globally as they prepare for the World Firefighter Challenge 2025, with five outstanding women officers joining Dr. Ghosh to represent the country. Their journey demonstrates the strength, fitness, and unyielding commitment of India’s fire services, inspiring professionals nationwide to pursue excellence on both domestic and international platforms.
On behalf of the fire and safety fraternity, Dr. Niranjan Kumar Gupta, Editor – Fire & Safety Magazine, extends warm wishes and heartfelt congratulations to the Mumbai Fire Brigade. This achievement is more than medals; it is a message of pride, resilience, and leadership from India to the global fire services community.
