New Delhi, August 30: A massive fire broke out early Sunday morning at the timber and plywood market near Rajdhani Park Metro Station in West Delhi, causing chaos in the area.

Upon receiving reports of the fire, multiple fire engines from the Delhi Fire Service rushed to the scene. As the fire escalated, approximately 25 fire trucks were dispatched to control the blaze. Firefighters worked tirelessly for several hours to bring the situation under control.
The fire reportedly originated from a factory associated with timber and plywood. It engulfed parts of the building from the first to the third floor.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined. The fire department and relevant agencies are investigating the matter. Initial efforts are focused on identifying the source of the fire and the reasons for its rapid spread. The exact cause will be revealed once the investigation is complete.
