According to information received, fire tenders from Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA), and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) reached the spot after the fire broke out at 1:30am.
The firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control, but the inferno ravaged 150 scrap shops, causing cumulative losses amounting to lakhs of rupees.
Fortunately, there are no reports of any injuries.

The PMRDA and Pune city fire brigade deployed four fire tenders and tankers to douse the blaze.
Reportedly, materials worth crores were burnt in the incident.
