The Ahmedabad Fire Department has not appointed any candidates from its ranks for the positions of chief fire officer, additional chief fire officer, and two deputy chief fire Officers following a recent examination. The written test was conducted at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar for shortlisted candidates.

For the first time in the history of the Amdavad Municipal Corporation, the examination was carried out by an external agency. Current incharge Chief Fire Officer Jayesh Khadiya, Additional Chief Fire Officer Mithun Mistry, and station officer Naitik Bhatt all appeared in the examination for key positions.

Six candidates were shortlisted for the chief fire officer’s position and one for the additional chief fire officer’s role, while 11 candidates were considered for the two deputy chief fire officer positions, with notifications sent for interviews on September 26.

However, it is notable that none of the candidates from the Ahmedabad Fire Department were selected. This comes amid ongoing disputes over the termination of nine officers from the department, dealing another significant blow to the Fire Department.
