Islamabad Police:
Islamabad Police have rescue 15 which is the police helpline: Islamabad Police rescue 15 is unique because it relies on a series of mobile patrols called eagles and falcons, these mobile patrols are given a patrol zone, because of the large number of mobile patrols being assigned an individual specific beat area Islamabad Police are able to offer an emergency response time of between 5-7 minutes (Source: SSP Maqbool).

Rawalpindi Police:

Rawalpindi Police use the national Rescue 15 police helpline and have a smiliar beat pattern to Islamabad Police, however Rescue 15 patrols in Rawalpindi use the code name Muhafiz and Mujahid, response times for mobile patrols to crime scene averages 7-9 minutes in urban areas and 30-55 minutes in rural areas.

Lahore Police:
Lahore police have the Rescue 15 helpline, however due to the vast size of Lahore and owing to inefficiency of Punjab Police, the model for Lahore police use Rescue 15 Mohafiz mobile patrols, however due to the size of the city most of the response is carried out by either a police post or police station. Historically response times varied between 20-30 minutes for Urban areas of the city and 1 hours + for rural areas of Lahore District.

In 2016 the Punjab Safe City Authority started working on integrating the emergency helplines for all three services fire, police, ambulance under one number (Rescue 15) this was called the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). In addition to PSAP and the induction of the new Dolphin Force, Police response time in Lahore has improved by 12 to 15 minutes, with an average 7 minuite response time in the city.

Karachi Rescue 15:
Karachi has the national Rescue 15 police helpline. Sindh police who have jurisdiction in Karachi have been plagued with allegations of corruption, nepotism, unprofessional conduct. The local police organise patrols under the umbrella 'Rescue 15 Madadgar', madadgar means helper in urdu.

Historically response times for Rescue 15 in Karachi have been between 20-35 minutes in the city and up to 3 hours in the outer ring of the city. In 2017 the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sindh Amjad Javed Saleemi inducted a new CAD(Computer Aided Dispatch) system and reorganizing of mobile patrols under wireless call signs and beat codes with response times in the metropolis measuring in at 5-10 minutes.

Fire, Ambulance, Search and Rescue:

In Pakistan, Fire, Ambulance and Search and Rescue come under the remit of Rescue 1122, people can access the emergency operations centre by dialing 1122 or via the 15 helpline. IN 2017, Rescue 1122 responded to 794,015 incidents with a maximum response time of 9 minutes, an average response time of 5 minutes.


The Future: Pakistan is working on the PICC3 project (Police Integrated Command and Control Centres). This started out in Islamabad, here are two videos you may find helpful:

I was wondering how is firefighting organized in Pakistan ? Is it on municipal,provincial or federal level ? Also is their role only to firefighting ? In France actually (as surprising as it might sound) fire services act as the principal first-aid and ambulance service,they have extensive first aid training and equipments to treat victims until the doctors and nurses of the SAMU (emergency medical service) arrive on the scene,then take them to the hospital. (Fire services have their own ambulances).

Only 9% (!) of their interventions are actually to fire fight. More than 80% are actually on medical emergencies or road accidents. And sometimes to save cats in trees !

Hi,

In Pakistan it is actually the duty of the district or city government to form a fire brigade, this was normally done under the guidance of Civil Defense and NIFT: National Institute for Fire Technology. However this system really didn't work, standards were poor and response was next to downright negligent.

In 2004 the Punjab government started as a pilot the PEAS(Punjab Emergency Ambulance Service) originally designed just to provide good quality pre-hospital care to trauma and medical calls:

However it rapidly became apparent that Pakistan lacked an integrated all-hazard response service, with fire being responsible for 16,500 deaths annually in Pakistan, rescue 1122 began developing a Fire Rescue service with the help of Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service in late 2004.

In 2005 following the Pakistan earthquake in which the lack of collapsed structure search and rescue (Urban Search and Rescue) skills in Pakistan were apparent, in early 2006 Rescue 1122 approached USAID and NSET PEER: Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response for development of USAR capacity for Rescue 1122:

The government then passed the Emergency Services Law in 2006:

http://punjablaws.gov.pk/laws/484.html

This gave Rescue 1122 provincial lead in Search/Rescue, Firefighting, Fire Safety, Pre-Hospital care in the Punjab. Since then Rescue 1122 has been launched throughout Pakistan with the exception of Sindh, Rescue 1122 is due to arrive in Sindh in late 2020 owing to political wrangling and vested interests of the Sindh government.

Rescue 1122 capacity includes:

• HAZMAT / HAZWOPER
• HAZMAT DECON
• URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE
• FIRE RESCUE
• HIGH ANGLE ACCESS/ROPE ACCESS
• SWIFT WATER SEARCH AND RESCUE
• RECOVERY
• AMBULANCE/PRE-HOSPITAL CARE
• DISASTER RESPONSE TEAM
• AERIAL DISASTER ASSESSMENTS
• CONFINED SPACE ACCESS
• COMMUNITY SAFETY & EDUCATION
