Dubai Civil Defence 2 articles

Dubai Civil Defence has a defined institutional mandate as Dubai’s authority for firefighting, rescue and fire-safety regulation. That mandate is reflected in Dubai fire safety regulation, firefighting services and rescue operations.

Questions involving building fire approvals, fire systems inspection and civil defence permits are where the remit of Dubai Civil Defence becomes concrete. This gives property owners, building operators, contractors and residents a clearer link between an official rule or service and the institution responsible for it.
