 The Andhra Pradesh Fire Subordinate Service Rules, 1992, outline

The Andhra Pradesh Factories Rules, 1950, don't directly specify qualifications for a fire crew. However, they mandate that factories have adequate fire safety measures, including well-maintained fire fighting equipment and clearly marked exits. The Andhra Pradesh Fire Subordinate Service Rules, 1992, outline qualifications for various fire service personnel, including firemen, which could be relevant to fire crews within factories. 

Key aspects related to fire safety in factories and fire crew qualifications:

Factory Rules (1950):

These rules focus on ensuring general safety within factories, including fire safety precautions. 

Rule 38: specifically addresses precautions in case of fire, requiring adequate means of escape, fire-fighting equipment, and proper maintenance. 

Rule 61: mandates the display of fire notices, clearly showing the periods of work for adults. 

Fire Service Rules (1992):

These rules outline the qualifications and training requirements for various ranks within the Andhra Pradesh Fire Service. 

Fireman Qualifications: These include passing the SSC or equivalent exam, possessing a valid Heavy Transport Driving License, and completing a prescribed training course. 

Training: The training includes both theoretical and practical aspects of fire prevention and extinction, including squad drill, ladder work, pump operations, and use of breathing apparatus. 

Safety Officers:

Factories with 500 or more workers are required to employ welfare officers, who may also play a role in fire safety management. 

Inspecting Staff:

Inspectors of factories have the power to enforce fire safety measures and ensure compliance with the rules. 

In essence, while the Factories Rules don't detail specific fire crew qualifications, they require factories to have adequate fire safety measures and personnel, and the Fire Service Rules provide the qualifications for those personnel. Therefore, a factory's fire crew would likely need to meet the qualifications outlined in the Fire Service Rules or equivalent standards for factory-specific fire safety personnel.
