Abstract	Background: Fire safety regulations play a crucial role in shaping modern fire protection arrangements in Indian urban homes. However, rapid urbanization, overcrowding, and inadequate enforcement mechanisms hinder effective fire risk mitigation. Objective: This study examines the extent to which Indian fire safety regulations influence residential fire protection measures and evaluates the challenges in their enforcement. Methods: The study involves a review of national and international fire safety regulations, compliance data, and case studies on urban fire incidents in India. Results: Despite existing regulations, significant gaps in enforcement and public awareness persist. Comparative analysis suggests that integrating community engagement and advanced technologies can enhance compliance. Conclusion: Addressing regulatory gaps through stricter compliance monitoring, technological advancements, and public engagement can significantly improve fire safety outcomes.
