Local risks in Pilibhit

Cooking-gas fires at home

On 13 October 2026 a cooking-gas cylinder fire at a home in Bamanpuri, Puranpur, killed a young child while other family members were taken for treatment; reports differ on how many were burned and no cause had been settled. We cover it in a case study.

Deoha and Sharda floods

In early September 2025 the Deoha and Sharda overflowed and flooded Puranpur, Kalinagar and Bisalpur tehsils, with dozens of villages marooned and about six wards of Pilibhit town surrounded by water. The Tanakpur highway was shut for three days, and the administration opened community kitchens and used boats.

Tiger attacks near the reserve

Two men were killed by tigers in May 2025 and a woman was killed at Shanti Nagar village on 3 June 2025, the third fatal attack in under a month. Villagers said the tiger had been prowling near the village for about a month without any action to capture it.

House and kitchen fires

On 9 June 2026 a kitchen fire in a three-storey house in Bilsanda spread to the second floor, and the fire brigade took about an hour to arrive. Firefighters worked for several hours and the losses ran into lakhs of rupees.

Sugar mill belt

Sugarcane is the district's main crop, and the portal names four sugar factories, at Majhola, Puranpur, Bisalpur and Pilibhit. Most rural fires in Uttar Pradesh come between March and June, the dry harvest months, so cane fields and mill yards need extra care then.

Fire stations in Pilibhit

2 stations. Tap Call to ring the station office.

Station	Area	Contact
Bisalpur Fire Station	Pilibhit district · Bisalpur	Call9454418520
Pilibhit Fire Station	Pilibhit district · Pilibhit	Call9454418518

Two stations are listed for Pilibhit district, Pilibhit and Bisalpur, and none for Puranpur, so the list may not name every station or seasonal post. In an emergency, call 112 or 101 first; station lines are office numbers.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101 and 108 in your phone today. We could not confirm a Pilibhit fire control room number, so call 112 or 101 for a fire. Puranpur and Bilsanda have no station on the state list, so give a clear landmark when you call.
Change a cooking cylinder only after every flame is out, including a diya, agarbatti or stove. If gas escapes, do not light anything or flip a switch; open doors, take everyone out and call 1906 or 112 from a safe distance.
In flood season, move to higher ground early when the Sharda or Deoha rises, do not drive through water on the Tanakpur or Bareilly roads, and keep documents, medicines and a torch in a bag you can carry.

Near the tiger reserve, avoid going alone to cane fields or the forest edge at dawn and dusk, walk in groups, make noise, and report a sighting to the forest office or 112. Do not crowd around the animal.
Keep the kitchen free of clutter and a bucket of water or sand within reach. If a fire starts, get everyone out first and call 112 or 101 before trying to fight it.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
