Series of Fire Incidents in Hyderabad
The latest incident comes amid a string of recent fire accidents reported across Hyderabad.
Earlier this week, a major fire broke out in a godown located inside a commercial building on Masab Tank Main Road. Three fire tenders, along with personnel from the local police and the Disaster Response Force (DRF), were deployed to control the blaze.
In another incident on May 14, a fire erupted at a furniture store in Hyderabad’s Hayathnagar area, causing panic among residents and traders.
Two fire engines were deployed to contain that fire after sustained firefighting efforts.
Preliminary investigations into the Hayathnagar incident suggested that an electrical short circuit may have triggered the blaze, although officials said the final cause would only be confirmed after a detailed inspection.
Authorities are yet to assess the extent of property damage in both incidents.
