Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Just four days after the tragic fire incident in Indore that took 8 lives, another case was reported on Sunday morning at a scrap warehouse in the Narwal area on Sanwer Road.
Three fire trucks were rushed to the spot, and the fire brigade began efforts to control the blaze.
Officials said the fire was reported around 11 am. The warehouse contained plastic scrap, which caused thick black smoke to spread in the surrounding area, creating difficulties for nearby residents.
Workers’ quarters near the warehouse were at risk, prompting laborers to move their belongings outside as a precaution. Firefighters also sprayed water towards the quarters to prevent the fire from spreading.
It is said the fire was reported around 10:30 am and the fire brigade quickly arrived to bring it under control.
Smoke had reached the nearby home of resident Shankar Parmar, causing him to move his belongings outside. Two to three women at the house felt anxious but are now safe.
Fire brigade confirmed that the fire occurred at Mohammad Irfan’s warehouse. Some employees living on-site were safely evacuated.
The warehouse was closed at the time, and the cause of the fire is not yet known. About 10 water tankers were used to douse the fire.
