Stay Ahead of Fire Hazards with IoT Intelligence:
Introducing Vigil by Vaccifire
Engineered for Compliance with the Maharashtra Fire Act
The fire and safety landscape in India is evolving rapidly, and Maharashtra is leading the way with the latest amendment to the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006—namely Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures (Amendment) Act, 2023 and Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures (Amendment) Rules, 2025.
This new fire safety act mandates that certain types of buildings and premises must have their fire systems monitored through an Automated Continuous Monitoring System(ACMS).
These systems are not just about compliance—they’re about safety, accountability, and timely action. And that’s exactly where Vigil by Vaccifire steps in.
What the Act Says
The latest amendment makes it mandatory for premises falling under the section 45(a) and (b) to have acms/fire iot and submit the Form B1 twice a year.
Section 45(a)
Building with height more than 30 metres and used for,
(1) hotel,
(2) hospital,
(3) business,
(4) mercantile,
Section 45(b)
Building used as,—
(1) residential building with height more than 70 meters;
(2) large oil and natural gas installation such as refineries, LPG bottling plant and other similar facilities;
(3) industrial building with moderate hazardous activities in nature having built up area 30,000 square meters or more and industrial building with high hazardous activities in nature having built up area of 10,000 square meters or more.
As per the Act, building owners and fire agencies are required to ensure:
- 24×7 remote monitoring of their fire alarm and suppression systems.
- Real-time alerts in case of equipment faults, power issues, or water level drops.
- Data retention and reporting to validate readiness and maintenance.
- 24×7 remote monitoring of their fire alarm and suppression systems.
In simpler terms, the law expects fire safety to be intelligent, connected, and transparent—not dependent solely on manual inspections.

100% Compliance. Zero Compromise.
Vaccifire’s Vigil platform is fully compliant with the Maharashtra Fire Act 2025. It has been designed specifically for the upcoming requirements that mandate Automated Continuous Monitoring System (ACMS) in buildings.
These ACMS are equipped with sensors, data transmitters, and gateways that feed information into a cloud-based dashboard—providing live status updates for:
- Fire alarm panels
- Pumps and jockey systems
- Water tanks and pressure lines
- Diesel engine fuel levels
- Exhaust systems and electrical panels
By automating this process, Vigil ensures that property owners and licensed fire agencies can detect faults instantly and take corrective action before an emergency occurs.
Why IoT is the Future of Fire Safety
Traditional inspection methods rely on periodic manual checks. But in today’s high-risk urban environments, downtime of even a few minutes can lead to disaster.
An IoT Fire Alarm System like Vigil eliminates that gap. With cloud connectivity and automated data transfer, it provides:
- Predictive alerts for early issue detection.
- Data analytics for performance trends and cost tracking.
- Audit trails to prove compliance with the Fire Safety Act and Fire Services Act.
This blend of technology and safety ensures that fire prevention is not reactive—but proactive.
