Massive Fire Erupts In Ambernath
This incident comes to light only a few hours after a massive fire broke out at a chemical manufacturing unit in the Anandnagar MIDC area of Ambernath on Monday, sparking multiple explosions and creating panic among residents in nearby localities.
According to initial reports, the blaze erupted at Ganesh Chemical Company, located in the industrial zone of Anandnagar MIDC. The situation quickly escalated as large quantities of chemicals stored within the premises ignited, resulting in a series of loud explosions that intensified the fire and heightened fear in the surrounding area.
Preliminary information suggests that the fire started suddenly inside the unit and spread rapidly within minutes, eventually engulfing the entire factory premises. The presence of highly flammable chemicals further fueled the flames, leading to repeated blasts that complicated firefighting efforts and posed a significant safety risk.
Thick plumes of black smoke were seen rising high into the sky as the fire raged through the facility. Eyewitnesses reported that the smoke was visible from nearly two kilometres away, alarming residents and workers in neighbouring industrial units.
