CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Delhi: A major fire broke out at a warehouse in Delhi’s New Ashok Nagar area, sending thick black smoke into the sky and prompting a large-scale response from the Delhi Fire Services.
Around 35 fire tenders were deployed to battle the blaze as firefighters worked to bring the situation under control. The intensity of the fire led to a large plume of smoke over the area, creating concern among local residents and people nearby.
Firefighters launched operations to contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining structures. The emergency response was strengthened with multiple fire engines being deployed at the location.
The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. Fire officials are expected to assess the site after the blaze is brought fully under control to determine the circumstances that triggered the incident.
Authorities are also expected to assess whether anyone was trapped inside the warehouse and whether the incident resulted in casualties or property damage. Further details are likely to emerge after the completion of the firefighting and preliminary assessment.
The incident once again highlights the challenges faced by emergency services while responding to major fires in densely populated parts of the national capital, particularly in areas containing warehouses and commercial establishments.
