Massive Blaze Rips Through Ghaziabad Plastic Factory
A huge fire erupted at a plastic factory in Ghaziabad's Vijay Nagar area. Another massive blaze hit a garment factory in Delhi.
A terrifying scene unfolded in the Vijay Nagar industrial area of Ghaziabad on Sunday as a Ghaziabad plastic factory fire broke out, sending plumes of smoke into the sky and triggering an emergency response from local authorities.
Emergency Response in Ghaziabad
The intensity of the fire at the plastic manufacturing unit necessitated the immediate deployment of six fire tenders. Firefighting teams rushed to the site to battle the flames, which were fueled by the highly combustible plastic materials stored and processed within the facility. As of the latest reports, firefighting operations remain underway as crews work to bring the blaze under control.
Another Major Fire Strikes Delhi
While Ghaziabad battled the industrial blaze, a separate and equally severe incident occurred in the national capital. A massive fire erupted at a building housing a garment factory located in Nangli Sakrawati, near Najafgarh Road, on Sunday evening.
Rapid Spread and Scale of Damage
The Delhi fire was reported to officials at approximately 4:22 pm. Due to the scale of the inferno, a significant force of 25 fire tenders was dispatched to the location to douse the flames.
Preliminary reports indicate a frightening progression of the fire, which started on the ground floor and rapidly climbed upward, engulfing the building up to the fourth floor. Fire officials have confirmed that while the main blaze has been addressed, cooling operations are currently being carried out to ensure no reignition occurs.
The cause of the garment factory fire in Delhi has not yet been determined, as investigators await the completion of the cooling process to begin their probe.
