Firefighter Sijender Kumar, 54, pulls a water pipe as he and others try to extinguish a fire that broke out at a car scrapyard in New Delhi, India May 30, 2024. Over a dozen firefighters and officers in Delhi were interviewed by Reuters, many of whom described working in “doubly” strenuous conditions of extreme heat and numerous fires. Shifts for firefighters are 24 hours long, followed by a day of rest. Senior officers work three full-day shifts at a time and then take a day off. (Photo by Adnan Abidi/Reuters)
