A massive fire broke out on the second floor of the Pravin Masale company's office in Pune's Hadapsar Industrial Estate on Thursday morning. Four fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the blaze was brought under control.
According to the officials, the fire is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit. Firefighters equipped with Breathing Apparatus (BA) sets entered the building using both staircases and deployed hose lines to douse the fire. They also opened windows to release smoke and prevent suffocation inside the office.
The quick action of the fire brigade helped contain the fire and prevented it from spreading to the other parts of the building.
The incident resulted in the destruction of several air conditioning units, office furniture, important documents and other materials. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The firefighting operation was carried out with the assistance of teams from Hadapsar, BT Kawade and Kalepadal fire stations, along with a water tanker from the Central Fire Station.
