During a fire in a building, which one of the following is not required to be done by the CISF?

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is a unique Central Armed Police Force that maintains a specialized Fire Wing, which is the largest fire-fighting force in the country. In the event of a fire, the CISF is responsible for rescue operations, fire suppression to prevent the spread, and coordinating with local fire brigades while ensuring clear access to the site.

However, the CISF does not have the statutory authority to register First Information Reports (FIRs). The power to register an FIR and conduct investigations under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) lies with the local State Police or specialized investigative agencies. While CISF personnel have limited powers of arrest and search under the CISF Act, 1968, they must hand over any apprehended person to the local police for further legal action and FIR registration.
