A terrifying scene unfolded in West Delhi on Sunday evening as a garment factory fire Delhi residents witnessed engulf a multi-story building near Najafgarh Road. The blaze, which broke out in the Nangli Sakrawati area, triggered a massive emergency response as flames ripped through the facility.
Rapid Spread Across Four Floors
The emergency was reported to fire officials at approximately 4:22 pm. What began as a localized fire quickly escalated, turning into a massive inferno. According to preliminary reports from fire officials, the flames originated on the ground floor and rapidly climbed upward, spreading across the building to the fourth floor.
Massive Deployment to Contain the Blaze
Recognizing the scale of the disaster and the potential for the fire to spread to neighboring structures, the fire department launched a full-scale operation. A total of 25 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to battle the towering flames and bring the situation under control.
Current Status of the Operation
While the primary fire has been brought under control, the danger has not entirely passed. Firefighters are currently conducting cooling operations to ensure that no hidden pockets of fire reignite and to stabilize the structure.
As of now, the exact cause of the fire remains a mystery. Authorities have yet to ascertain what triggered the spark that led to the devastation of the garment factory. Investigations are expected to follow once the site is fully secured.
