Fire Erupts in Ghaziabad Apartment, No Casualties Reported

Ghaziabad, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : A fire broke out unexpectedly in a locked apartment near Avantika Hospital in the Indirapuram area of Ghaziabad on Friday afternoon. The incident occurred around 3:48 PM, sending residents into a panic as dense smoke filled the unit. Quick action by the firefighters from the Vaishali fire station helped contain the blaze.

Upon receiving the alert, the fire officer dispatched two fire tenders to the scene immediately. The fire was located in Flat B-1, Plot No. 153A in Shakti Khand-2, registered under the name of Abhishek Kumar. Due to the apartment being closed at the time, smoke accumulation posed a significant challenge for the firefighters.

The team faced difficulties extinguishing the flames because of the potential damage that water could cause to the belongings inside. Consequently, they opted for alternative methods, using fire extinguishers and a bedding technique to tackle the fire effectively.

With careful management, the firefighters successfully extinguished the flames and prevented further damage to the apartment and surrounding areas. After controlling the fire, they used a smoke exhaust machine to clear the thick smoke from inside the unit, ensuring proper ventilation.

Thanks to the prompt response from the fire department, the situation was brought under control without any injuries or significant property damage. However, the cause of the fire remains unclear at this time.
