Massive Fire Breaks Out at Maharashtras Beed Excise Department Office, Several Vehicles Destroyed

Beed, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : A significant fire erupted in the parking lot of the Excise Department office on Dhanora Road in Beed, Maharashtra, on November 11. The blaze engulfed five cars and numerous two-wheelers parked in the area.

Witnesses reported that the fire broke out suddenly, leading to chaos in the vicinity. Emergency services responded with only one fire truck, which soon ran out of water. This delay of approximately 15 minutes allowed the flames to spread, raising serious concerns about the municipal fire safety resources in Beed.

The fire posed a threat to nearby residential areas and government offices, including the Food and Drug Administration. Local residents took quick action by breaking the window of a government Scorpio parked at the office to move it out of harm’s way.

After considerable effort, the fire department managed to control the blaze. However, the cause of the fire remains unknown, and the total economic damage is yet to be assessed.

Residents are now urging the municipal administration to enhance the city’s fire safety measures. They emphasize the need for more fire trucks, improved water supply, and emergency resources to effectively manage such incidents in the future.

Inside the Excise Department office, there were five barrels filled with approximately 200 liters of spirit. Fortunately, the fire did not reach these barrels, averting a potentially catastrophic situation.

Tensions remain high as citizens demand accountability and better preparedness from local authorities in light of this incident.
